  • 1 pound orecchiette
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to taste
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 links crumbled or sliced pork sausage
  • 1/4 cup grated aged Asiago cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. Make the pasta according to the package directions. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for about 10 minutes, or until broccoli looks crispy but not completely brown.
  3. Sauté crumbled pork sausage (or slices if your kids are more likely to eat it that way) in a frying pan.
  4. Strain the pasta, reserving a few tablespoons of the pasta liquid. Return pasta to pot. Add a drizzle of olive oil, sausage, broccoli, Asiago, pasta liquid, and Parmesan and toss.
