Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli #dinner #pasta

Start by cooking the pasta. I use orecchiette, which is the exemplary pasta for this dish. The name originates from its shape, which takes after a little ear (the Italian word orecchiette implies little ear). On the off chance that you can't discover it, it's fine to substitute some other pasta you like.

The formula calls for Pecorino Romano — a hard, salty Italian cheddar produced using sheep's milk which is sold in most enormous stores. On the off chance that you can't discover it, it's fine to substitute Parmigiano Reggiano. Move the pasta to a serving bowl or individual dishes and top with the remaining ground cheddar.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound orecchiette
• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 pound broccoli florets
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook according to package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium high heat. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic; cook for 1 minute more.
3. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil, chicken broth, broccoli, salt and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful brown bits, until the broccoli is tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted and simmer for a few minutes to reduce and concentrate the sauce.
4. Drain the pasta well and place back in the pasta pot. Add the sausage and broccoli mixture, along with half of the cheese, and toss to blend. Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls and pass the remaining grated cheese at the table.
5. Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated on the stovetop. If the dish has dried out a bit in the freezer, add a little water or broth while reheating. Just take care only to reheat it and not continue to cook it.
