Sausage Broccoli Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1 lb short cut pasta
  • Salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Sausage
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Broccoli
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet, and add the sausage, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until nicely browned and crispy. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli, chicken broth, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until most of the broth has cooked off and the broccoli is tender.

  3. 3

    Use a strainer to transfer the pasta from the boiling water to the skillet. Off the heat, add the butter and parmesan and toss well, adding pasta water as needed to keep the sauce smooth and silky. Serve immediately!

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.

Let the flavors mingle and the warmth of the meal bring your table to life-this dish is a celebration of comfort and craftsmanship, just as the ingredients were meant to be.
