What a delicious way to eat broccoli! While very simple to make, the flavors are complex and powerful.

Ingredients

  • 340g penne pasta, uncooked
  • 5 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 340g Italian sausage, in bulk removed from casing
  • 345g broccoli florets
  • 240mL water
  • Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Cook penne pasta in rapidly boiling water until done. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and sauté until the garlic turns brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Brown sausage in the same pan and cook until done through, about 10 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and water to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. The sausage will be crumbly and mixed in with the broccoli.
  • Transfer penne to skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to thoroughly combine ingredients.
  • Top with the crisp garlic bits and serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
