Instructions
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Bring 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Peel and finely chop garlic.
Once water is boiling, add pasta to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage, tomato, half the garlic, 2 tsp Italian Seasoning (4 tsp for 4 servings; you’ll use more later), salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and 2 tsp flour (4 tsp for 4) to same pan; cook, stirring, until mixture is combined and butter has melted, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add cream cheese, stock concentrate, cream sauce base, ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes more. (If you like things spicy, add a pinch of chili flakes from your pantry if desired.) Add drained pasta to pan with sauce; toss until thoroughly coated. (If sauce is too thick, add splashes of reserved pasta cooking water as needed.) Taste and season with salt.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, remaining garlic, ½ tsp Italian Seasoning (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Halve ciabatta; spread cut sides with garlic butter and place, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Toast on top rack until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Halve garlic bread on a diagonal.
Divide pasta between bowls. Serve with garlic bread on the side.
Pork Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
