HOW DO I MAKE ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI?
In a bowl, toss the broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder and onion powder. Spread onto a large baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Toss half way through the cooking process. Carefully remove once the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Once the pasta is finished boiling, reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water before draining.
In a skillet, cook the Italian sausage until browned and crumbled. Spoon off any excess grease.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sausage, roasted broccoli, pasta water and Parmesan cheese. Toss well, add salt & pepper to taste and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
