Cooking Steps

1
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.

2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. (If you feel like spicing things up, this is the perfect time to add a pinch of chili flakes to infuse from the start!) Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Remove from heat.

3
  • Meanwhile, once water is boiling, add pasta to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes.

  • Add broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green and pasta is al dente, 2-4 minutes more. Drain together.

4
  • Return pan with pork mixture to medium heat. Add drained penne, broccoli, stock concentrate, cream cheese, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until everything is coated, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. (if pasta seems dry, add splashes of water 1 TBSP at a time until desired consistency is reached.)

  • Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Serve with chili flakes on the side.
