Cheesy Sausage and Broccoli Pasta with Crescent Rolls

This recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for a family dinner. The cheesy broccoli pasta is made even better with smoky sausage and gooey cheddar cheese, all served alongside warm, buttery crescent rolls.


Ingredients:

  • 2 packages Knorr Cheddar Broccoli Pasta (or any similar brand of cheesy broccoli pasta mix)
  • 1 package beef smoked sausage, sliced (around 12-14 oz)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (can substitute with frozen, but fresh is recommended)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or more for extra cheesiness!)
  • 2 packages crescent rolls (Pillsbury or store brand)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven for Crescent Rolls:
  • Follow the instructions on the crescent roll package for temperature and baking time.
  • Preheat your oven accordingly (usually around 350-375°F).
  • Once preheated, place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions (usually for 10-12 minutes) until golden brown. Set them aside when done.
  1. Prepare the Smoked Sausage:
  • While the crescent rolls are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pan and brown them on each side for about 4-5 minutes, until they’re lightly crisped and cooked through.
  • Once browned, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  1. Cook the Cheddar Broccoli Pasta:
  • In the same pan (to keep the flavors from the sausage), add water and butter (if called for on the Knorr package instructions) to prepare the Cheddar Broccoli Pasta.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil following the package directions.
  • When the liquid begins to boil, add the broccoli florets to the pan. If using fresh broccoli, cook for about 5-6 minutes to ensure they become tender, but still crisp. If using frozen broccoli, you may need to adjust the time slightly based on package instructions.
  1. Combine Ingredients:
  • Once the pasta is fully cooked and the broccoli is tender, mix in the cooked sausage slices and stir to combine.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir the mixture until the cheese is completely melted and evenly distributed throughout the pasta.
  • Check the seasoning at this point and add a pinch of salt or pepper if needed.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve the Cheesy Sausage and Broccoli Pasta hot, with the warm crescent rolls on the side.
  • For extra flavor, you can brush the crescent rolls with a little melted butter before serving.

Tips:

  • Customization: Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • Cheese Options: You can swap out the cheddar for other cheeses like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack for added flavor.
  • Sausage Substitution: Try this recipe with turkey sausage, kielbasa, or even vegetarian sausage for a different twist.

This cheesy sausage pasta dish with crescent rolls is an easy, crowd-pleasing meal that’s perfect for busy evenings. The creamy pasta, smoky sausage, and cheesy goodness will make this recipe a new favorite in your home!
