1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Freshly grated parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
-
Cook rotini pasta in salted water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened.
-
Add Italian sausage and chicken. Cook, breaking up the sausage, until browned and cooked through.
-
Stir in garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes.

Add cooked pasta to the pot and toss until fully coated and creamy.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes
-
Do not overcook the pasta before adding it to the sauce—it will continue cooking as it simmers.
-
Swap chicken for shrimp or use all sausage for an easy variation.
-
Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce thickens too much.
