This is a really simple meal that I like to call a "Monday Night" kind of dish.
With Sausage from the meat counter, pasta, broccoli, and cheese, it's a meal that pleases EVERYONE! :)
1lb sweet Italian sausage
2 cups of steamed broccoli florets (I use the frozen ones; rip and dump!)
1 lb of penne, bowties, orchiette, or rigatoni noodles
1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese
1/4 tsp of red chili flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbls olive oil
Brown and crumble the sausage with the chili flakes, garlic, and olive oil.
Once browned, add the broccoli and heat through.
Stir in the cooked pasta and Parmesan Cheese and heat for 5-10 minutes.
If too dry, add some of the pasta water-the starch from the cooked pasta acts as an instant thickener!
Enjoy!
