Rigatoni With Roasted Sausage and Broccoli
Sang An
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve ¾ cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Step 2
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli and onion with the oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Nestle the sausage among the vegetables.
Step 3
Roast, tossing once, until the broccoli is tender and the sausage is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
Toss the pasta with the broccoli and sausage mixture, butter, and ½ cup of the reserved cooking water (add more if the pasta seems dry).
Step 5
Sprinkle the pasta with Parmesan before serving.

I used turkey sausage and sprinkled some feta on it before baking. I rarely eat carbs as a main part of a meal, so I left out the pasta. Everyone devoured this, including my kids. Next time I'll add a can of cannelini beans. If there's "no flavor", you should probably use a different sausage.

Another great recipe that my family loves! Very surprised by "no flavor" reviews. This recipe is frequently requested by my family. We use lots of freshly grated parm and fresh basil too! YUM!

YUMMY! I love finding a tasty dish that is so easy to make, I have the recipe memorized after making it just once! I don't know what the other reviewers did if they thought it had "no flavor!" Maybe forgot the salt and pepper? Used a bland sausage? This was delicious, and my other half (a very picky foodie) agreed!

I added crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor. This was good, but not something I will make again. The broccoli did not cook as quickly as the recipe stated, and the oven was too hot, drying it out a bit. I sprayed with more evoo, but to no avail.

"Elegant" was what my husband said after tasting it. Before eating he asked me what "sauce" was in it (there is none!). Kids liked the tray of sausage and broccoli and onions (they kept saying "Yum" just looking at it and they don't usually like broccoli!). I also liked not getting a pan dirty and having the cooking smells. I do think you need some herb so I used lots of chopped fresh basil to top the dish. I would agree with my husband that the dish tastes "elegant".

I LOVE this recipe - with minor changes! I've tried it three times with different pasta and they were all good. The main change is I use HOT Italian sausage and no butter, just olive oil. I don't understand why the "no flavor" comments. It's one of my favorite recipes.

This was okay - I like the main ingredients but it definitely lacked flavor. Next time I need to think about another spice to jazz this up.

This was a quick, easy and tasty meal. My fiance absolutely loved it--but he's not hard to please.
I added red, yellow and orange peppers, which definitely helped increase the flavor.

Yuck - we did not care for this at all.

Just cooked and ate this, delicious! I substituted with Chicken Apple Sausage and added squash. My 4-year-old loved it as well.
