Description

Using my 3-2-1 Pasta Formula, I made this Spicy Bow Tie Pasta with Broccoli and Sausage on one of those crazy evenings. The only fresh vegetable in sight was 1 crown of broccoli. I knew that wasn’t enough to do a lot with, so I added sundried tomatoes to get a more significant serving of vegetables. I grabbed 2 links of sausage from the freezer. I always have onion and garlic on hand. And suddenly we were getting somewhere.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets, Cooked Till Tender Crisp
  • 1 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes, Soaked In Oil
  • 2 cups Mild Italian Sausage, About 2 Links
  • 1 whole Red Onion, Sliced Thin
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ⅓ cups Dry White Wine
  • ½ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper, More If You Like
  • 1 package Bow Tie Pasta (8 Ounces), Cooked According To Package Instructions
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt, More If Desired
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper

Preparation

In a large saute pan, drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, cooking until browned on all sides. Remove sausage and slice into rounds. Return to pan. Add onion to the sausage and saute until the onion is tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more.

Deglaze the pan with the white wine, making sure to scrape up all the browned bits. Rinse the tomatoes of excess oil, if desired. Stir in the tomatoes, pasta, and broccoli. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with crushed red pepper. Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Note: when I cook the pasta, I add the broccoli to the pot for the last 2 minutes to cook it.

I made this one evening and it rivals Carrino’s bowtie pasta dish! Thank you for sharing!

I tried it with chicken, since I don’t really like sausage. I also used chicken broth instead of white wine. The whole dish was very tasty, and my husband really enjoyed it too. I am sure we will make this again!

This is an awesome recipe! I don’t like sausage, so I used chicken in mine, but it was so good! We will definitely be having this again!
