Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook your Jovial pasta (or other pasta) according to package directions.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and use a wooden spoon to break it apart while sauteing for 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 more minute. Add in the chopped broccolini, chicken broth, crushed red pepper, lemon juice, and salt and stir.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. Drain the pasta, then add it to the pan with the sausage and broccoli.
  • Toss to combine, then add the 2 tbsp ghee or butter and stir until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with parmesan if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Dairy-Free: If you're dairy-free, skip the parmesan cheese or use a non-dairy parmesan option like nutritional yeast, or even shredded dairy-free parmesan (I've found this at Trader Joe's!). Use vegan butter like Miyokos as well.
How to Serve: Serve this Jovial pasta dish by itself or alongside a simple house or caesar salad and a loaf of gluten-free garlic bread.
Leftovers: Store leftover sausage broccolini pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stove top and enjoy!
