Excellent weeknight meal. I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen, mild Italian sausage instead of spicy, and served red pepper flakes on the side.

Great Recipe. I added a tablespoon of red pepper flakes. It made it much better. Maybe too hot for some. But 1/2 a teaspoon is just too little for so much pasta.

Both my husband and I thought this was good - next time will use zucchini or peppers in place of the broccoli.

Excellent dish! I did change a few things though, first I fried the sausage and garlic with some spring onions and a little water until no longer pink. I then drained the sausage and added the olive oil and FRESH broccoli, and red pepper flakes to it and one 14oz can of italian stewed tomatoes. I left it simmer for 5 minutes. I then mixed it with the pasta and cheese. WOW!! The broccoli had such a good flavor from cooking with the sausage and garlic. The stewed tomatoes also gave it a little more juice. Next time I might add some green olives minced. I will be making this a lot. Thank for the great recipe.

My DH first introduced me to this recipe more than 15 years ago--it's still a favorite. My best results have been by cooking the chunked sausage (turkey) in the olive oil and adding fresh broccoli along with the garlic and hot pepper to the sausage. Wonderful, wonderful!

I have made this several times now and the whole family loves it. It is quick and delicious. I have varied the veggies according to what I have on hand and have found that zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers are also very good in this dish. Thanks for a great recipe.

Oh, yum! A very tasty dish that's a nice change from tomato sauced pasta. Hubby, whose favorite thing in the whole world is spaghetti with tomato sauce, thought it was great. A definite make again!

My husband really liked this as he's not a fan of tomato sauce. I added extra red pepper to mine as I felt it needed more flavor. I also added fresh spinach to the boiling pasta along with the broccoli to sneak it in on my kids.

Without the sausage and broccoli this was Aglio e Olio the dish Italians had when the pantry was bare or years ago when Catholics could not eat meat on Fridays. I tried this because I don't usally put sausage in and I decreased the red pepper flakes to 1/4 and put in with olive oil and garlic to infuse the flavor. I also added the broccoli for 6 mins. I also tried with fresh spinach loosely chopped and added to water last 3 mins.

This is an excellent recipe - garlic, red pepper flakes and hot Italian sausage - yum! I have made this with both asparagus and broccoli, will try spinach next. You can usually find Cavatelli at Italian Markets like A.G. Ferreri, but any pasta shaped like Penne will work great. A must try recipe!!

I used campanelle pasta since I couldn't find cavatelli, used sweet Italian sausage instead of spicy and used the frozen broccoli crowns. I also omitted the crushed red pepper flakes because my kids can't handle that, but my husband and I added the flakes to our own food. Delicious! A big hit. Thanks!

I made a reduced version of this with 2 sausages, a splash of olive oil, 4 garlic cloves (I like my garlic), about 1.5 cups chopped FRESH broccoli, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, about 1/4 cup parmesan, and some fresh asparagus. I prepared exactly as per recipe except I boiled the broccoli 6 minutes instea of 3; and I sauteed the asparagus, chopped, at the same time as the garlic in order to soften it. The flavours were a very good mix & I would definitely to it again. I recommend chopping the sausage BEFORE frying, assuming you want it chopped; it will cook much faster that way. If you like this try Asparagus, Chicken and Penne Pasta from this website, it is really very similar.

I love this recipe. I make it all the time because it is so easy. I use regular sausage instead ( I like heat, my stomach doesn't LOL!) and substute a small dash of cayenne in place of the pepper flakes but the taste is stil amazing. This is a great spring/summer pasta dish!

This was okay.. Good to try, but probably a one time thing. I never found Cavatelli noodles at my local Safeway store, so it must be some "special" noodle.. It did have a good taste but thought it was a little dry.

This was great - I will be making it again and again - I added some basil to the oil while it was cooking and I was thinking next time I'll try it with spinach - My mom always made this as well but used to use broccoli rabe - that was always good too - I think anything even something like asparagus would be good with this - any kind of greens actually :) Thanks for submitting this - ohhh and btw I added plenty of red pepper flakes - I like it hot and spicy even though the sausage was spicy too :)
