LEMONY ONE-PAN ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE & BROCCOLINI



Lemony One-Pan Orecchiette with Sausage & Broccolini image

We've updated this classic pasta dish with a simple one-pot preparation and a welcome dose of lemon. Orecchiette is an underused short pasta that's named for its resemblance to the shape of a small ear. Cooking the pasta in chicken broth adds savory depth-you will taste the difference in every bite. Grape tomatoes are optional, but they do add a wonderful burst of color and fresh flavor to this dish. You can cook them with the sausage to soften them a little, if you like. For a milder meal, feel free to omit the red pepper flakes and use regular mild Italian turkey sausage.

PASTA WITH BROCCOLINI, SAUSAGE, + LEMON



Pasta with Broccolini, Sausage, + Lemon image

Meet your new weeknight dinner hero: Pasta with Broccolini, Sausage + Lemon. Add this quick and flavorful recipe to your rotation stat.

Provided by What Annie's Eating

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lb Fresh Sweet Italian sausage
1 lb Broccolini/baby broccoli/ broccoli rabe
1 Cup diced yellow onion (about ½ medium onion)
3 Cloves garlic (diced)
1 lb Orecchiette pasta
Zest of 1 small lemon (about 2.5 teaspoons)
Juice of ½ small lemon (more if desired)
¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
Up to 2 cups of pasta water
Kosher salt
Cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.
  • Trim the tougher ends of the broccolini stems off, about 2 inches or so, and discard. Roughly chop the rest of the broccolini, set aside.
  • While the water comes to a boil, in a heavy bottomed dutch oven or stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage, break up with a wooden spoon, and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use a wooden spoon to move the cooked sausage to the edge of the pot, and add onion. Add another glug of olive oil if needed and season generously with kosher salt. Saute the onions for several minutes until soft, stirring occasionally to lift up the caramelized brown bits in the pot. Add the garlic, and saute until fragrant, about a minute. The sausage should be golden brown, and the onions and garlic should be soft. Turn off the heat entirely and set aside.
  • When the water is boiling, add the broccolini and cook in water for about 2-3 minutes. Use a wire mesh skimmer, handheld strainer, or tongs, remove the broccolini from the water, and transfer into a colander to let the broccolini cool and set aside (save the water for your pasta).
  • Bring the water back up to a boil, and cook the pasta 2-3 minutes less than the package instructions, as you'll finish cooking the pasta in the other pot with the sausage. Before you drain the pasta, set aside 2 cups of the pasta cooking water, which makes the base of your sauce.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to pot with sausage, onion, garlic, as well as the cooked broccolini and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes to incorporate all ingredients, stirring constantly.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups reserved pasta water, lemon zest, lemon juice, grated parmesan cheese, and toss for a minute or two, until ingredients are incorporated and the pasta water has reduced slightly to make a creamy sauce. Season with more lemon juice, grated parm, and kosher salt to taste. If pasta needs to be saucier, add the remaining 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water and stir until creamy.
  • Serve while warm and top with more grated parmesan cheese, and cracked black pepper.
  • Optional: Add crushed red chili flakes for a little heat and toasted breadcrumbs for crunch before serving.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLINI



Pasta With Sausage and Broccolini image

This is a really flavorful, easy to make pasta dish. The broccolini is a hybrid vegetable of broccoli and Chinese Kale. It is more tender and sweet than broccoli and less fibrous. Most of it is edible from the stalks to the florets. It really makes the dish better than the usual broccoli or broccoli rabe.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. A short pasta, such as penne or rotini, is a good choice for this dish because it will hold the sauce well.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh broccoli and sausage will give the dish the best flavor.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli is best when it is cooked until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil will add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Add the lemon juice at the end. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.

Conclusion:

This lemon broccoli and sausage pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of lemon, broccoli, and sausage is a classic for a reason, and the addition of pasta makes it a hearty and satisfying dish. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli or sausage.
