This spicy sausage pasta is so delicious! You can use any type of pasta but I just love orecchiette. Substitute mild sausages depending on spice preference. Optional - add steamed broccoli florets for more veg! The brocolli pairs so well but is also a delicious, vegetarian friendly substitution for the sausage.

Sometimes simplicity really is best! This recipe takes it back to basics with minimal ingredients and steps. It comes together quickly and doesn't even require a sauce! All the flavors come from the sausage mixed with onion, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Yum!
