First up we have Mark:

2 sausages (hot Italian is my preference)

Broccoli chopped

Garlic chopped

Orecchiette

• Open, crumble, and brown sausage while you start water for pasta
• When water boils add orecchiette, when sausage is browned add garlic and broccoli
• Add some water from pasta into pan with sausage and broccoli and cover
• When orecchiette is almost cooked, add more water from pasta pot to sausage mixture, drain pasta and add pasta to sausage mix covered for about 5 min and then uncovered to finish for a couple more minutes
• Add pepper to taste
• Grate fresh parmesan on top and enjoy!
