Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound orecchiette
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, removed from casings
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound broccoli florets
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup freshly grated pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium high heat. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic; cook for 1 minute more.
  • Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil, chicken broth, broccoli, salt and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful brown bits, until the broccoli is tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted and simmer for a few minutes to reduce and concentrate the sauce.
  • Drain the pasta well and place back in the pasta pot. Add the sausage and broccoli mixture, along with half of the cheese, and toss to blend. Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls and pass the remaining grated cheese at the table.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated on the stovetop. If the dish has dried out a bit in the freezer, add a little water or broth while reheating. Just take care only to reheat it and not continue to cook it.

ONE POT ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLINI



One Pot Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccolini image

This One Pot Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccolini (or broccoli, or broccoli rabe) is an easy weeknight recipe packed with Italian flavor!

Provided by Elizabeth Lindemann

Categories     Pasta

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. ground Italian sausage (sweet or hot, casings removed if in links)
1 onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional, for spice (omit if using hot sausage))
2.5 cups chicken broth (preferably low sodium, or vegetable broth, or water)
8 oz. orecchiette (or other preferred pasta shape/kind)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (more if needed)
1 lb. broccolini (cut into 1/2" pieces, (or broccoli, fresh or frozen, or broccoli rabe))
grated parmesan, chopped parsley, and fresh cracked black pepper (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Add the sausage (1 lb.) and onions to a large, deep skillet, pot, or Dutch Oven with a lid (make sure it's big enough to add the pasta in later!). Cook over medium high heat until the sausage has browned and the onions have softened, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the minced garlic (2 cloves) and crushed red pepper (1/4 teaspoon) if using. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant. If you find that some of the sausage has stuck to the bottom of the pan, add 2-4 tablespoons of water, chicken broth, or white wine to the skillet, using a wooden spoon to help dislodge any stuck-on bits.
  • Add chicken broth (2.5 cups) and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, along with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (if using water, use 1 full teaspoon, and if using a chicken broth with lots of sodium, omit entirely).
  • Stir, turn heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes (at this point, the pasta won't be entirely cooked yet). Add the broccoli, stir, cover, and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, until pasta is fully cooked and broccoli has softened and turned a bright green. (If it seems a little "soupy" but the pasta is fully cooked, I recommend letting it sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes to allow it to cool, thicken, and the steam to evaporate a bit.)
  • Serve with fresh grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, fresh cracked black pepper, and a little more crushed red pepper if desired.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
8 ounces orecchiette
1 pound pork sausage, casings removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces broccolini, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Crushed red pepper flakes

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate, keeping the fat in the skillet. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the pasta and sausage to the skillet along with the Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, a couple of pinches of crushed red pepper and a bunch of turns of black pepper. Stir in a few tablespoons of the pasta water and continue to cook, stirring, until glossy, adding more pasta water if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Sprinkle with more Parmesan before serving.

ONE PAN ORECCHIETTE PASTA



One Pan Orecchiette Pasta image

Every year when it's time to go back to school I get inundated with requests from students to post recipes that are super-easy, cost pennies, and require a bare minimum of kitchen equipment. This delicious orecchiette pasta recipe only has a handful of ingredients, is very cheap to make, and most importantly: only uses one pan or pot for the entire procedure.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
salt to taste
8 ounces spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided, or as needed
1 ¼ cups orecchiette pasta, or more to taste
½ cup roughly chopped arugula, or to taste
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir sausage into onions; cook and stir until sausage is broken up and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups chicken broth into sausage mixture and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add orecchiette pasta; cook and stir pasta in hot broth, adding remaining broth when liquid is absorbed, until pasta is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir arugula into pasta-sausage mixture until arugula wilts. Ladle pasta into bowls and dust with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, juicy sausage, and tender broccolini.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and broccolini, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of fry, which will result in a less flavorful dish.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the perfect texture for this dish, as it will hold up well to the sauce and other ingredients.
  • Add the lemon zest and juice at the end: Adding the lemon zest and juice at the end of the cooking process will help to preserve their bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is still bubbling. Garnish with additional lemon zest and Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Conclusion:

This lemony one-pan orecchiette with sausage and broccolini is a quick, easy, and flavorful weeknight meal. It's packed with fresh, healthy ingredients and is sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying dinner, give this recipe a try.
