21 Day Fix Pasta with Broccoli & Chicken Sausage

(recipe from carrieelle.com)

Ingredients:

•               1 small head of broccoli

•               1 9oz package of fresh pasta (I used Fusilli)

•               1 small onion, diced

•               1 package of sweet Italian chicken sausages, sliced into rounds

•               2 cloves of garlic, minced

•               1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

•               1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped

•               Himalayan pink salt (or sea salt) to taste

•               Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Chop the broccoli into florets and steam for 3-5 minutes until vibrant

green but not mushy. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Fill the same pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta according to

the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the chicken sausage

into small rounds.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat.

Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent.

Add the chicken sausage and cook for 6 minutes, stirring halfway through

to flit the sausage so it browns on each side.

Add the garlic and the steamed broccoli to the pan. Cook for 1 minute

until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Add the cooked pasta.

Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley. Season

with salt and pepper according to your taste.
