Recipe
Heat oil in large saute pan set on medium
heat, until almost sizzling, about 2 minutes.
Cook sausage for 3 minutes or until lightly
browned. Transfer sausage to a bowl w/
slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the garlic, broccoli, tomatoes, salt,
pepper, red pepper flakes to same pan and
cook over medium heat for 3 minutes,
stirring to mix well. Add cooked sausage
and the wine and cook 3 more minutes,
stirring to scrape up any brown bits from
the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken
stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat,
cover the pan, w/ lid slightly ajar, and
simmer 30 minutes.
Just before the sauce is done, boil water
for pasta. Add pasta and cook until just
tender. Drain well, return to pot. Add
sauce and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes
until most of sauce is absorbed by the
pasta. Remove from the heat, add the cheese
and butter, if you wish, and mix well.
Serves 4-6
