Sausage, Pepper and Broccoli Pasta

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the sliced red bell peppers and broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the sausage and vegetables.
7. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the pasta is evenly coated.
8. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
