- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 lb spicy or sweet Italian poultry sausage removed from casing
- 1/2 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked gluten free pasta
- 2-4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth or stock
- Crushed red pepper
- 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese can omit for WW
Set Instant Pot to saute and add oil to the bottom of your pan. Brown poultry sausage until cooked through. Add in garlic and onion add cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in stock, broccoli, and pasta. Lock lid and set cook time for 2 minutes.
After cooktime is through, do a quick release and open the lid after it unlocks. Give everything a stir and check the pasta to see if it’s cooked to your liking. If it needs a little more time, just place the lid back for a minute or two, and the pasta will cook in the heat.
Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for a little heat (or not) and top evenly with Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
Makes 4 servings - 1 1/4 cup each if using 2 cups broccoli; 1 3/4 cup each if using 4 cups broccoli
21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1/2 to 1 GREEN (depending on how much broccoli you use), 1 YELLOW, 1/2 BLUE, 1/2 tsp (per serving)
