🧂 Ingredients

1 Cook the pasta as per packaging instructions and save about 1/3 cup of pasta
water.
2 In a large pan over medium heat add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot add the
loose sausage.
3 Break up the sausage with the back of a large spoon until you are left with
smaller pieces. Brown the sausage for approx. 5 minutes, or until cooked
through. Remove the sausage from the pan.
4 Reduce the heat to low and add 3 out of the 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the
garlic and Calabrian chilis. Cook for 1-2 minutes until soft and fragrant but
not brown.
5 Add in the chopped broccollini and a heavy pinch of salt. Cook for about 3-4
minutes, mixing every so often to evenly cook the greens.
6 Add the sausage as well as the remaining 3 tables spoons of oil. Drizzle in 2-3
tbsp of pasta water and cook the pasta for 1-2 minutes, adhering the spicy oil
to the pasta.
7 Complete the pasta with broken up burrata or a heavy hand of parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
