FARFALLE WITH CAULIFLOWER AND SAUSAGE
This comes from the December 2008 issue of Cooking Light. I love the flavor of roasted cauliflower, so this sounded like a great and easy combination. Their recipe calls for mild turkey italian sausage, but I think this would be good with any italian sausage, mild or spicy.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the farfalle pasta, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the Italian sausage until crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and continue cooking until the sausage begins to brown, about 5 minutes more. Pour off the excess grease, then pour in the chicken broth and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add the broccoli rabe, and cover. Cook until the broccoli rabe is tender, about 4 minutes.
- When the broccoli rabe is done, stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the meat sauce has thickened. Toss with the farfalle and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Farfalle, also known as bow-tie pasta, is a great choice for this recipe because it holds the sauce well. However, you can use any type of short pasta, such as penne, rotini, or fusilli.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is just tender but still has a bit of a bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cauliflower and turkey sausage, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear on the sausage.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is a key component of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality sauce. You can make your own marinara sauce or use a store-bought brand that you like.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, can really brighten up the flavor of this dish. Add them at the end of cooking for the best flavor.
Conclusion:
This farfalle with cauliflower and turkey sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrition, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this one a try!
