Broccoli Macaroni With Sausage - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb bow tie pasta
1 head broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb hot Italian turkey sausage, crumbled
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

In a medium skillet over medium heat, fry sausage in olive oil until no longer pink (I like it dark and crispy!). Add in the garlic and crushed red pepper and sautee' until lightly golden. Drain and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until tender and reserve the broccoli steaming water.
Mix all ingredients together and add the broccoli water until you reach your desired level of moistness in the pasta.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with parmesan cheese on top.
