Zesty Italian Sausage Pasta


I love pasta and the variety of ways you can prepare it. Some recipes are better than others, and this one fell short of my expectations. It's a colorful, healthy pasta dish but lacked flavor.

Zesty Italian Sausage Pasta

1 pkg (19.76 oz.) Italian Mild Sausage Links
1 pkg. (16 oz.) of linguine
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 can (14.5) diced Italian tomatoes
1 can (10.5 oz.) chicken broth
2 cups broccoli florets

Prepare sausage according to directions. Cool slightly; cut into 1/4-in. slices.
Prepare pasta according to package directions.

In a large saucepan, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir in tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Add the broccoli and cooked pasta. Cook until broccoli is tender, about 5 mintues. Add sausage; toss to combine. 5 servings.

Note: I used fresh chicken stock and added 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
