Lemony One Pan Orecchiette With Sausage Broccolini Recipes

ONE POT ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Add the sausage (1 lb.) and onions to a large, deep skillet, pot, or Dutch Oven with a lid (make sure it's big enough to add the pasta in later!). Cook over medium high heat until the sausage has browned and the onions have softened, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the minced garlic (2 cloves) and crushed red pepper (1/4 teaspoon) if using. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant. If you find that some of the sausage has stuck to the bottom of the pan, add 2-4 tablespoons of water, chicken broth, or white wine to the skillet, using a wooden spoon to help dislodge any stuck-on bits.
• Add chicken broth (2.5 cups) and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, along with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (if using water, use 1 full teaspoon, and if using a chicken broth with lots of sodium, omit entirely).
• Stir, turn heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes (at this point, the pasta won't be entirely cooked yet). Add the broccoli, stir, cover, and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, until pasta is fully cooked and broccoli has softened and turned a bright green. (If it seems a little "soupy" but the pasta is fully cooked, I recommend letting it sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes to allow it to cool, thicken, and the steam to evaporate a bit.)
• Serve with fresh grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, fresh cracked black pepper, and a little more crushed red pepper if desired.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate, keeping the fat in the skillet. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the pasta and sausage to the skillet along with the Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, a couple of pinches of crushed red pepper and a bunch of turns of black pepper. Stir in a few tablespoons of the pasta water and continue to cook, stirring, until glossy, adding more pasta water if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
