SAUSAGE & BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta until nearly al dente. Throw in the broccoli and cook for 2 mins more. Drain, saving 1-2 tbsp of the water.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the garlic, fennel seeds, if using, and chillies. When they start to colour a bit, add the sausage and cook until golden and cooked through. Tip in the pasta and broccoli with the reserved water and toss. Serve hot with the Parmesan shavings.

SAUSAGE & BROCCOLI PASTA WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 8-10 mins until soft and translucent.
• Squeeze the sausagemeat from the casings and crumble into the pan with the onion. Drizzle in 1 tbsp sunflower oil, turn up the heat to medium-high and fry until the sausagemeat has started to colour and turn slightly crisp in parts, about 5-6 mins. Lightly crush the fennel seeds using a pestle and mortar. Add the garlic and crushed fennel seeds to the sausagemeat and cook for 1 min more until fragrant, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta following pack instructions, or until al dente. Halfway through the cooking time, add the broccoli. When the pasta is ready and broccoli tender, drain in a colander, reserving a mugful of the cooking water.
• Stir the cooked broccoli and pasta into the sausage mixture in the pan until coated. Season well. Stir through the lemon juice, chilli flakes and a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen if needed (or use 1 tbsp oil, if you like). Serve in bowls topped with the cheese.

ORECCHIETTE PASTA, SAUSAGE, BROCCOLI RABE & FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large Saute Pan up to medium heat. Place in the EVOO, once it starts to dance, place in the garlic and anchovies. Combine together, being careful not to burn the garlic, should only take a few minutes. Keep Stirring. Add in the loose Sausage and fennel, continue stirring till the sausage is browned. Turn to low and hold.
• While the Sausage is cooking, add the salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add in the Orecchiette, set the timer for 5 minutes. Prep the broccoli rabe to small 1.5"x1.5" cuts. When the timer is up for the Pasta, add in the broccoli rabe and cook for 5 additional minutes. When pasta & broccoli are cooked, pull a cup of the water and save (it might be used in the next step).
• Turn the Sausage mixture back up to a medium heat. Drain the Pasta and Broccoli, add it to the Saute Pan and stir in with the Sausage (add in the water a little at a time to keep mixture moist). Burn-off the liquid after a few minutes (while turning the mixture) and add and cut in the Feta.
