Directions
I cook the pasta and broccoli at the same time all in the same pot, which creates a pesto-like broccoli sauce the kids cant pick out (trust me, its so good!). This is the only way I can get Madison to eat broccoli cooked! If you like it hot, you can swap the sweet sausage for hot. I personally like to add some crushed red pepper flakes to my bowl, this way everyones happy!,But what I really love about this dish is that its ready in less than 20 minutes, and makes enough for leftovers which I often pack for lunch for Madison in her thermos (affil link).
