Cooking Instructions

30 min.
  1. 1

    Start by cleaning the broccoli: remove the leaves and divide the broccoli into florets.

  2. 2

    Cook the sausage without the casing in a large pan with the extra virgin olive oil, peeled and crushed garlic, and chili pepper. Use a wooden spoon to crumble the sausage and cook over low heat.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, cook the broccoli florets in plenty of salted water for about 6-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the white wine to the broccoli and let it evaporate over high heat; then remove the garlic when the sausage is well cooked.

  5. 5

    Sauté the broccoli in the pan with the sausage and add a tablespoon of the cooking water, cooking for about 4-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Cook the pasta in the same pot used for the broccoli.

  7. 7

    Drain the pasta al dente and toss it with the sauce of broccoli and sausage. Serve the orecchiette with plenty of grated cheese or, if preferred, grated pecorino cheese.

  8. 8

    TIPS:
    1) It is recommended to cook the pasta in the same water used for the broccoli so the orecchiette absorbs more flavor;
    2) For a vegetarian version of orecchiette, you can omit the sausage.

  9. 9

    MISTAKES:
    1) Avoid overcooking the broccoli as they can become mushy and lose their nutrients;
    2) Keep an eye on the garlic, as burning it can give the oil a bad taste, so stir it often with a wooden spoon.
