How to make Italian Sausage Pasta With Broccoli
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the farfalle in a large pot of salted boiling water. About four minutes before straining the pasta, add the broccoli.

Step 3: To the sausage meat, add olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Step Step 4: Decrease the heat and cook further until the pasta is ready. Set aside 1 cup of pasta water, then strain the pasta and broccoli when done.
