I've always been fascinated by Fire Island, and thought the name was fitting for this slightly spicy pasta dish. âCandace Reed, DeSoto, Texas Ingredients:
2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise |
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon salt |
8 ounces ziti or small tube pasta |
2 cups fresh broccoli florets |
1 pound johnsonville® mild italian sausage links links, cut into 1/2-inch slices |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/3 cup grated romano cheese |
Directions:
1. Toss the tomatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, garlic and salt. Place cut side down in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 450° for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Chop when cool enough to handle.
2. Cook ziti according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage in remaining oil until no longer pink. Add pepper flakes; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes and heat through.
3. Drain ziti mixture; toss with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 5 servings.
