Heat a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan.
Add the sausage to the pan. Cook over medium high heat for 10 minutes or until sausage starts to brown. Break apart the sausage with a spatula while it’s cooking.
Once the sausage has browned, turn the heat down to medium. Add the white onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until the onion and garlic begins to soften.
Add the pasta and white wine to the pan. Stir together and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken stock to the pan and mix together well.
Add the broccoli, oregano and red pepper to the pan. Mix together well and cover with the lid.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn’t stick to the pan.
Once the pasta has absorbed the liquid, remove from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese.
Mix together, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Sweet Italian sausage or hot Italian sausage work well. We buy sausage in casings already, but you can also buy ground sausage, and you won’t have to cut open the casings before cooking.
Ground beef, turkey, or lamb are great substitutes for sausage if you’re looking for something lower fat.
Ditalini pasta is a different pasta shape and is fun to eat. Easily swap this out for orecchiette, elbows, or rotini.
