Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces pasta (your choice, but I love penne or fusilli!)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, depending on your preference)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets

½ cup chicken or vegetable broth

Salt and pepper, to taste

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Cook the pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Don’t forget to reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining!

Sauté the sausage: While your pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into the pan. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the garlic: Once the sausage is browned, toss in the minced garlic. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.

Incorporate broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, cover, and let it steam for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.

Combine pasta and sausage mixture: Once the broccoli is perfectly cooked, add the drained pasta to the skillet. If the mixture looks a bit dry, pour in a splash of the reserved pasta water.

Finishing touches: Remove from heat and sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together so the cheese gets all melty and delicious.

Notes

A comforting dish that combines savory sausage with fresh broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights.
