This recipe brings back memories of cooking with my Grandmother
One of my favorite pasta dishes!
Oreccheitte pasta (the one that’s looks like little hats) with sweet Italian sausage and broccoli.
This recipe will feed 2 to 4 people. You may substitute any type pasta. I happen to love orecchiette because it brings back great memories of cooking with my Grandmother. It was the pasta she always used for this dish.
=================================================================
Grill or cook in a pan: 2 sweet Italian sausage links (about 1/2 lb). Then slice into bite size pieces.
Prepare 1/2 lb dry pasta by following the instructions on the box but shorten by 2 minutes and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
In a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients; sauté 4 garlic cloves sliced and broccoli to taste in 1 cup of chicken stock or broth for 5 min. Add the cut up pieces of sausage, pasta and 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Simmer and stir 2 to 3 min on a low heat. This will incorporate all the ingredients and finish cooking the pasta. If necessary add more pasta water. Serve in a bowl and finish with grated Romano cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
You could add black pepper or crushed hot pepper to taste.
Enjoy,
Daniel
