Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
Pasta is so versatile, I just love to prepare it every which way, with lots of different ingredients and flavors. For this dish, I leave the sausage as the focal point and let its flavor drive the dish.
When you prepare this dish you can use many different vegetables instead of the broccoli. I have another dish similar to this where I am using a bag of frozen peas.
