Ingredients
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 2 cups broccoli florets quartered, fresh
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 ring kielbasa cut into ¼-inch slices, 13.9 ounces
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced (about ½ cup
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups whole milk 367.5 g
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups mild cheddar cheese shredded
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions (about 8-10 minutes).
- In the final 3-4 minutes of boiling the pasta, add the broccoli.
- When done, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set the noodle and broccoli aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the kielbasa and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the onion is softened (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk and cornstarch, whisking until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the milk mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, and continue cooking until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cheese, mixing until fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.
