Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta With Broccoli

"You can't beat the ease of this creamy and cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta for a 30-minute dinner that the whole family will love. Made-from-scratch skillet mac and cheese is tossed with kielbasa and tender broccoli florets so that you get an entire meal in one pan. This kid-friendly dish is perfect for busy weeknights! The idea for this recipe comes from my mom, who made a similar recipe with a box of store-bought mac and cheese and smoked sausage. The flavor profile reminds me of our favorite Smoked Sausage Pasta Bake, but this version comes together in about 30 minutes and doesn't require any canned soups. It's entirely made from scratch, and boy is it a treat! I used broccoli because I think that it's a perfect companion for the skillet mac and cheese, but you can substitute with almost any other vegetables that your family enjoys. A can of drained diced tomatoes or some frozen peas would also be delicious! Take this idea and make it your own with your family's preferred ingredients. "
