How to make Savory Sausage Dill Pasta
Your first step is to cook the pasta according to the package directions. Note that the pasta will get extra cook time in the chicken broth. Because of this, I prefer to have my noodles al dente. With 5-7 minutes left, add the broccoli to the pot. Finish cooking the broccoli and pasta together. This hack saves on burners used, time, and pots! Drain the pasta and broccoli and set aside. Next, in a skillet, start sautéing the Onion, Turkey Kielbasa, and Garlic together. Once the onion becomes translucent, and the Turkey Kielbasa is browned, add the pasta mixture, and chicken broth. Cook until the chicken broth has reduced by half.
Before serving, toss in spinach and dill until spinach begins to wilt.
Sprinkle this dish with parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper for an extra kick. Enjoy every mouth watering bite!
PRO TIP- My kids love this dish but aren't a fan of the spice yet. Add red pepper flakes to individual bowls to make everyone happy!
