Orecchiette with Broccoli & Barbaros Sausages

Ingredients:

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 500g pack Orecchiette pasta
  • 1 pack Barbaros Pork & Fennel Sausages
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 20g butter
  • olive oil, for cooking

To Serve

  • Grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino
  • Chilli flakes or Calabrian chilli oil

RECIPE STEPS:

Step 1
Start by getting a large pot of salted water onto a high heat and bring to the boil for your pasta.
Step 2
For the sauce, finely chop onion and add to a large frying pan with a good glug of olive oil. Allow onions to soften and become translucent after a few minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
Step 3
Take Barbaros Pork and Fennel Sausages out of the casings and add to the pan, using a spatula, break apart the meat into smaller pieces. Allow sausage pieces to get some colour and start to cook through.
Step 4
While sausages are cooking, boil the Orecchiette pasta as per duration on the packet.
Step 5
Deglaze your cooked sausage pan with white wine and allow liquid to reduce by half. Add chopped broccoli florets and turn to a low heat. Cover pan with a lid for a few minutes to steam the broccoli slightly.
Step 6
Spoon Orecchiette pasta into the sauce, adding roughly ¼ cup of pasta water into the pan. Add butter and a glug of olive oil. Get everything moving to emulsify the sauce.
Step 7
Serve into bowls and finish with grated Parmigiano, chilli flakes and olive oil.
