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