Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bring a large pan of water to the boil with a generous pinch of salt. Once boiling add the orricette, cook for 12 mins, then drain in a colander, reserving the pasta water (see ingredients for amount). Set aside the drained pasta, we will add it to the sauce later.

2

Meanwhile, pop the tenderstem broccoli on a baking tray and drizzle with oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast on the top shelf until cooked through and crisping a the edges, 15-20 mins. 

3

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Roughly chop the tomatoes. 

4

Add a drizzle of oil to a large frying pan on medium high heat and once hot, add the shallot. Cook and stir until softening, 5 mins, then add the sausage meat and Italian herbs. Let the meat brown, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, 5 mins.

5

 Add the tomatoes, stock and reserved pasta water (if the pasta isn't ready just carefully ladle it out whilst still boiling). Let the sauce simmer for 5 mins, stirring often, then add the drained pasta, half the Italian cheese and plenty of pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir well to combine.

6

 Remove the broccoli from the oven. Divide the pasta between bowls and top with the roasted broccoli and finish with a sprinkle of the remaining hard Italian cheese. Enjoy!
