Penne with Broccoli & Ricotta

Have you ever considered using something other than pasta sauce for your pasta dish? Try this ricotta-tomato version. This meal has all you need in a main dish, vegetables, protein and carbs. If you don't like spicy just leave out the red pepper flakes and buy a mild sausage.  



Ingredients:

3 Italian chicken sausages
1 box of penne
2-3 broccoli bundles
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 T minced garlic
3 T olive oil 
3 T tomato paste
Dash of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Boil broccoli in salt water for 5 minutes
In a large sauté pan cook garlic, onion and sausage in olive oil
Add tomato paste
Boil penne pasta according to box
Add broccoli and sausage mixture
Lately stir in ricotta and Parmesan
