Michaels Home Cooking | Broccoli Sausage Orecchiette with Michael's Home Cooking @MichaelsHomeCooking | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
This pasta dish is flavored with Broccoli, Mild Italian Sausage using Orecchiette Pasta. The flavors blend very well and makes a fine supper. I think next time I would use butterfly pasta as I think the Orecchiette is too thick/sturdy for this meal unless you like your broccoli crisp.
Ingredients:
2 cups Orecchiette pasta or other pasta
1 pound broccoli flowerettes
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves rough chop
1 cup diced onion
2 sausage links 1/2 pound (I used mild italian)
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pecorino romana
additional olive oil and pecorino for serving

Bring a pot of water to boil, add the pasta and undercook by two minutes as per the suggested time printed on the package. We will finish cooking the pasta in the sauce for the perfect al dente consistency.
Preheat a small nonstick pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, turn off the heat and add the Italian style breadcrumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until they brown. Set aside for later.
Heat the olive oil in the pan and cook over medium heat until nice and hot then add the red pepper flakes. Add the garlic to the hot oil and stir well. Once the garlic begins to sizzle, add the white onion and stir well.
Add the ground sausage and with the back of your spoon break, up the sausage into smaller pieces and cook for two to three minutes stirring well.
Add the parboiled broccoli florets and cook for two to three minutes stirring well.
Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Now reduce heat to a simmer and cook the sauce for eight to ten minutes.
Add the pasta to the sauce and over medium low heat blending together all the ingredients. Cook for three more minutes.
Turn off the heat under the pasta and sauce. Add the toasted breadcrumbs and grated Romano cheese to the pan and stir until it is all well incorporated into the dish.
