Broccoli and sausage pasta

Broccoli and sausage pasta

This is comfort food at its best: paccheri pasta, Italian sausage and broccoli!

Ingredients:

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • Salt
  • Garlic
  • Pepe trito (if you have it)
  • Broccoli
  • Italian sausage
  • Paccheri pasta

Cooking time:

15 minutes

 

Directions:

Cut and clean the fresh broccoli, and split them in four. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then throw in the broccoli and cook for 3-4 mins more. In another pan, cook the pasta until nearly “al dente”.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add garlic and pepper. When It starts to colour a bit, add the sausages and cook them. Then add the broccoli with a bit of their water. Put in the pasta, increase the heat to get rid of the excess water.

Serve hot with the Parmesan or Pecorino shavings.
