Rotini Skillet - whole wheat rotini pasta

Method

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to boil for the pasta.
• While its heating up, cut the sausage into slices, then in halves.
• This helps stretch the sausage.
• Cut two heads of broccoli.
• Place some water in the bottom of a skillet to steam your broccoli.
• Place the lid on top and cook to your desired tenderness.
• (Not too soft or it falls apart in the pasta.)
• Your water should be boiling.
• Dump the box of pasta into the water.
• Cook according to package directions.
• Once the broccoli is cooked, place in a bowl and add your cut sausage to the skillet.
• Usually, these come pre-cooked, so youre just browning these pieces.
• Five minutes should do it.
• Once pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pot.
• Drizzle with olive oil and add the broccoli and sausage.
• Add garlic salt and Italian seasoning to taste.
• Toss gently and make sure its nicely coated with olive oil and seasoning.
• Once youre satisfied with the taste, add a good handful (or two) of the Romano cheese.
• Serve with nice crusty bread.
