  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim bottom end from broccolini and cut into 1" lengths.

    Halve and peel onion. Slice one half thinly (other half yours to use as you please!).

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add Italian sausage to hot pan and break up into small pieces until browned and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Transfer sausage to a plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

    Once simmering, add pasta and sausage and stir until combined, 30-60 seconds.
