Creamy Sausage Pasta Bake | The Recipe Critic

This dump and bake creamy sausage pasta is my kind of dinner: throw everything into a baking dish and let the oven take it from there. No boiling noodles, no browning sausage, and no sink full of dishes afterward.

One-Pan Creamy Sausage Pasta Recipe

One-pan creamy sausage pasta is a complete meal on its own. With pasta, sausage, and vegetables baked into one dish, you do not need to make anything else. If you love a hands-off dinner, try my one-pan baked ramen noodles

1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13 x 2-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add the uncooked penne, sliced smoked sausage, broccoli, tomatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, salt, and Italian seasoning to the prepared dish. Stir to combine and make sure the pasta is mostly covered by the liquid.
2. Add the cheese: Place the Boursin cheese in the center of the dish.
3. Cover and bake: Cover the dish tightly with foil, then bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and stir until the melted cheese is incorporated into the sauce. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir the pasta, then let the creamy sausage pasta rest for 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken as it sits.
