Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

    Peel and mince or grate garlic. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.

  2. 2

    Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing.

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

    Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Remove from heat.

    Swap in chicken sausage for pork sausage.

  3. 3

    Once water is boiling, add Colavita penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes.

    Add broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green and pasta is al dente, 3-5 minutes more. Drain.

  4. 4

    Return pan with sausage mixture to medium-low heat. Add drained penne and broccoli and 3 TBSP olive oil (6 TBSP for 4 servings) and toss until everything is coated in a glossy sauce. (TIP: Add an additional drizzle of olive oil if needed.) Taste and season with salt and pepper.

    Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve.

    Chicken Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
