One Pot Bruschetta Pasta

June 7, 2017 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

Life gets busy. Between work, school projects, after-school activities and just all the little chores that come along with being an adult, it can be really tough to get dinner on the table. Trust me…I know! Although it is tough on so many nights of the week, I am passionate about making sure my family gets a home cooked meal as much as possible. With our crazy schedule, it can be tough. But, with recipes like this one pot bruschetta pasta, I can conquer all of life’s must do items and still get a delicious meal on the table. Plus, this recipe only needs one pot so there is less clean up making my to-do list just a little smaller in the process.

One Pot Bruschetta Pasta

I always love having a few quick and easy meals on our menu during the busiest weeks because I know, even if our schedule is crazy, we can totally still enjoy a home cooked meal. 

Ingredients for One Pot Bruschetta Pasta:

1 Tbsp butter
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup onion, diced
Salt and pepper
4 links sun-dried tomato chicken sausage
2 cups penne
2 cups water
1 jar red pesto
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Let’s Make It:

1. Heat butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once melted, add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

2. Stir in sausage, penne, pesto and water. Reduce heat and cook, covered for 10 minutes. Stir in broccoli and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and top with Parmesan, tomatoes and basil.

Note: I have had a lot of questions about the sausage I use in this recipe. I use a pre-cooked version (like this) but, if you choose to use a raw sausage, I would recommend partially cooking it before adding to this recipe.

This pasta is a huge favorite of everyone in my family. It is full of flavor and so easy to make. I love not having to wait for water to boil to cook my pasta and then still having to make the rest of the meal. 

What are your favorite quick and easy meals?

      Sorry about that. It should go in when you add the pasta. I updated the instructions.

    Can this recipe work with gluten free pasta? If so, would you make any edits to ingredients or cooking times,

      While I have never tried it, I think it should work ok with gluten free pasta. I would recommend checking it at the time listed for regular pasta but it may need slightly longer cooking time.

      This recipe uses a pre-cooked sausage. I added a link to show the brand I used.

    What is “red pesto” and where do I get a jar?

      Red pesto is pesto made with sun-dried tomatoes. My local grocery store carries it. I added a link to Amazon where you can also purchase it.

    Are the sausage and broccoli to be cooked first? Five minutes doesn’t seem long enough to cook broccoli.

      I use a pre-cooked sausage (I added a note and link to the recipe). The broccoli is crisp-tender if you don’t pre-cook it. If you prefer a softer broccoli, I would recommend cooking it for 1-2 minutes before adding it to the pasta.

    AH! Adding the Red Pesto is written in the top instructions but not the printable instructions 🙁 I printed and took it home.. Couldn’t find the Pesto part.

    I messed up.

      Oh no! I am so sorry. I am updating the printable recipe right now. That was definitely an editing error on my part. I hope you will try the recipe again.
