Spicy Cajun Penne Recipe

Directions:

1. Start by preparing the penne pasta. In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the penne for about 10 minutes or until al-dente. Remove from the pot and strain until later.
2. In the same pot (now devoid of water) add the crushed chili flakes to the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and sliced stem pieces of the broccoli. Saute until the onions start to brown on the edges.
3. Add the andouille sausage and minced garlic, mixing in with the onions and broccoli stems until the sausage starts to brown on the edges.
4. Add the cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, and finely chopped roasted bell peppers and cook with the other ingredients until the broccoli florets turn dark green and are fork-tender.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked penne pasta and minced pepperoncini peppers. Serve, hot.
