Maybe even minced garlic and diced onions instead the powder seasoning. If you wanted you could substitute the smoked sausage with ground Italian Sausage.Īlso you could use different veggies instead of the broccoli like, spinach or asparagus. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.Simmer for 3 minutes on low heat or until the cheese is melted. Add the remaining cheese and milk and stir until melted. Add about half of the cheese and ½ cup of milk and stir constantly until melted and creamy. Open the lid and add the butter, stirring until melted. Stir the cheese to mix it together with the pasta, sausage, and the broccoli. After the 5 minutes of cook time, quick release the pressure and allow the pressure pin to drop. Remove the lid and add 2-3 cups of shredded cheese.Stir and push the broccoli down into the sauce with your spoon. Add the smoked sausage, uncooked pasta, beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper to the skillet with the broccoli.You want the broccoli tender but, still crisp. Cut one small head of broccoli and saute in the pan for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion to the pot and sauté the onion and sausage until sausage is browned and onion has softened (for uncooked sausage, break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks). Remove the smoked sausage from the skillet.Then stir in the cheeses a couple of cups at a time until all the cheese is stirred in and creamy and smooth. When the time is up let the pot sit for 5 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Cook the sausage in the skillet with the olive oil on low heat until the sausage is lightly browned. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 4 minutes on high pressure. Next, cut the sausage into 1/2 thick rounds.
