    Ingredients
 • 1 head broccoli.
 • 3 tablespoons olive oil.
 • 1 teaspoons red pepper flakes.
 • 2 links fresh Italian sausage.
 • 4 cloves garlic, minced.
 • 1 lb dried short pasta, such as fusilli, penne or ziti.
 • 1 oz Pecorino Romano cheese.
 • salt and pepper to taste (Optional).


      Preparation Method
1. First Bring a large pot of liberally salted water to boil. Clean the broccoli: separate
  the florets from the stems and set them aside and Remove the tough peel of the stems
  with a paring knife or vegetable peeler, then cut the stems into half-inch cubes.
  Remove the casings from the sausage.

2. Now warm the olive oil in a large skillet and crumble the sausage meat into the oil,
  flattening each piece slightly so it will brown better. Cook until the sausage browns and
  crisps. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic turns pale brown,
  about 5 minutes.

3. Add the pasta and the diced broccoli stems to the boiling water and cook 6 minutes 
  and Add the broccoli florets and cook until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes total.
  Scoop out the pasta and broccoli and drain; keep the water at a boil.

4. Now Place the skillet over high heat and add the drained broccoli and pasta to the
  sausage and garlic. Add one-half cup boiling water from the pasta pot. Cook, stirring
  frequently, until the water mostly boils away, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Season with salt
  and a good grinding of black pepper.

5. Finally Divide the pasta evenly among 6 warmed pasta plates and shave Pecorino
  Romano over the top with a vegetable peeler.
