Try this incredibly delicious and easy creamy sausage pasta recipe!
I love a good easy pasta recipe. One that requires limited ingredients and maybe a few pre-made shortcuts. This recipe is exactly that!
In the past recent months I have started eating a lot of beyond meat, Tofurky vegan sausages. I never ate pork before I went vegan so even after going vegan I wouldn’t really gravitate towards the vegan options. However most recently I have been including them in more recipes and I love it! Such a great vegan protein option that doesn’t take long to cook at all.
I really like the Italian sausage by Tofurky & The Hot/Sweet Italian from Beyond Meat. In this recipe I used Beyond.
I also wanted to add some sort of vegetable so I obviously included my favorite veggie of all time, broccoli.
What do you need for this recipe?
- Pasta shape of choice
