Pasta con Broccoli e Salsiccia (Broccoli and Sausage Pasta)
This Broccoli and Sausage Pasta is the perfect blend of savory flavors and comforting textures, making it an irresistible choice for dinner tonight!
Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 to 10 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, cut the sausage into small pieces. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Next, add minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
Meanwhile, chop the broccoli into small florets. Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir for about 3 to 4 minutes until it is bright green and tender.
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the rest. Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet with the sausage and broccoli.
Toss everything together, adding some reserved pasta water if the mixture appears dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finally, remove from heat, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
