Pasta with Sausage & Baby Broccoli Kit

What You Get

Orecchiette pasta

Baby broccoli

Sweet Italian sausage

Grated Parmesan cheese

What You'll Need

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Olive oil

Chile flakes (optional)

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain the pasta.

Step 2

Slice the baby broccoli into bite-size pieces, discarding any woody stems. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sausage to the pan as one large, flat patty and fry until crispy and golden, flipping once, 4 minutes per side. Break the patty up into coarse chunks with a spoon. Add the broccoli and sauté until bright green and tender-crisp, 3 minutes. Turn down the heat to low.

Step 3

Add the pasta to the sausage and broccoli. Stir until the pasta is coated, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heap the pasta on plates, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Grind with pepper, sprinkle with chile flakes, if you want some heat, and serve warm.
