Best 3 Olive Garden Rotini With Sausage And Asparagus Recipes

OLIVE GARDEN ROTINI WITH SAUSAGE AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Cut bottom 2 inches off asparagus stems (the inedible part), then cut remaining stem into 1 inch pieces. Boil asparagus until tender. Drain and allow to cool. Remove tips from asparagus and set tips aside.

ROTINI WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

Stir the rotini into the same pot, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the garlic and crushed red pepper for 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli, chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained pasta; cook over low heat for 1 minute. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
