Sausage and Broccoli in Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
This is simple yet delicious and perfect for a weeknight meal. I used homemade fettuccine in this which is beyond amazing but of course, a box of pasta will be fabulous, too! I bought my sweet Italian sausage from Whole Foods. The links are HUGE so I only used 2. Otherwise, you may want to use 4.
You may want to try a scan pan! The best!
