How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package directions in a 6-quart saucepot. Drain the pasta well in a colander. Return the pasta to the saucepot.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Remove the sausage from the skillet. Pour off any fat.
Step 3
Add the butter and garlic to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes or until the garlic is golden, stirring often.
Step 4
Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until it's tender-crisp, stirring often. Stir in the broth and heat to a boil.
Step 5
Add the broccoli mixture, sausage and cheese to the saucepot. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with crushed red pepper and additional cheese, if desired.
