I loved this one! Very easy, with tons of flavor. Used half the pasta called for (subbed penne) to scale it down for a smaller batch, left everything else the same. I'm not a huge pasta lover, but I couldn't stop eating this!

Great recipe! Something different from the ordinary. Didn't have the red pepper flakes, still delicious! Had a great flavor.

The whole family loved this! I used low-fat Butterball Turkey sausage and penne pasta since I had it on hand, and it was delicious. Even better the next day. Thanks for our new favorite!

A high five for the family really liking this dish....when my almost 11 and 3 yr. olds eat until their plates are clean....thats a yummy dinner(and they ate all of their broccoli!). I did use sweet Italian sausage cause of the kiddies and frozen cavatelli. Served with garlic bread..(whats a little more garlic?). Will make again, thanks!

I've made this twice now. I really enjoy this dish. I added some sauteed onion and grape tomatoes the second time. I only use half of the red pepper flakes called for.

A keeper! I took others advice and added onions and mushrooms, additional red pepper flakes to the saute. I used only one mild Italian sausage, browned and deglazed the pan with some dry white wine. I used the fresh broccoli I had and added some fresh oragano from my herb garden, halved grape tomatoes & lots of Parm. Reg. at the end. This is fabulous with a nice earthy red blend from Argentina.

What a treat! I think this tastes similar to Carbanara but cheaper and has broccoli. I really enjoyed this recipe.

This has become my husband's favorite thing I make! I have even swapped the italian sausage with the Jenie-O Italian Turkey Sausage, and it tastes great! I've used both broccoli & asparagus, both are good. Thank you for this recipe!

Pretty delicious, although I modified it a lot...I used 4 mild italian turkey sausage links (casings removed), fresh broccoli which I steamed in my rice cooker, about half a can of diced tomatoes (drained), extra garlic, extra chili flakes, about 5 fresh basil leaves roughly chopped, and only about 1/3 cup olive oil. The only tricky part was getting the broccoli, pasta, and garlic/olive olive oil mixture finished at the same time, but it came out beautifully....My fiance was raving about how good it was! :)

I really liked this. The spicy sausage gives it a good flavor and it was a very light pasta dish. I did not have any parmesan, but I would recommend using it. Mine seemed to be lacking something. Good recipe!

I have made this at least four times since finding this recipe last year! I absolutely love the kick of spice and heat! It's pretty healthy too as the pasta is coated in only olive oil. I use fresh broccoli, not frozen, and sometimes add chopped caramelized onions to the mix. And when I don't have cavatelli I use practically any type of pasta. Wonderful meal, it's one of my faves!

YUM! Used fresh broccoli. Also added red peppers and red onion - both sliced thin - while cooking the garlic. Delicious. Colorful. The family thoroughly enjoyed.
