This is from Southern Living. I usually use a combination of medium and hot Italian sausage. Feel free to kick up the heat with more crushed red pepper. This works well with penne pasta also. Ingredients:
1 lb italian sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained |
12 ounces ziti pasta or 12 ounces penne pasta, uncooked |
2 cups broccoli florets |
1/2 cup freshly grated romano cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook sausage in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat until browned; remove sausage, and set aside. Wipe drippings from skillet with paper towels. 2. Cook garlic and red pepper in oil in skillet, stirring constantly, until lightly browned; add tomatoes, and cook until thoroughly heated. 3. Add sausage back to skillet mixture and keep warm. 4. Cook pasta according to package directions, adding broccoli during last 5 minutes of cooking time. 5. Drain pasta, transfer to large serving bowl. 6. Add tomato and sausage mixture to pasta in bowl, toss gently, sprinkle with cheese. |
