Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 1 pound (about 450 grams) mild Italian pork sausage with casing removed

– 3 cloves garlic chopped

– 1 pound (about 450 grams) bow tie pasta

– 3 cups chicken broth

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

– 4 cups small broccoli florets (approximately 1 head of broccoli)

– 1/2 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes drained of oil

– 1/3 cup heavy cream

– 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus extra for serving

– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

– Optional red chili flakes for serving

Instructions

1-First, gather your ingredients and start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 pound of mild Italian pork sausage with the casing removed and cook until it’s browned, breaking it up as it goes. This step builds a rich base for your easy bowtie pasta.

2-Next, toss in 3 cloves of chopped garlic and stir for about a minute until it’s fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. Then, add 1 pound of bowtie pasta along with 3 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Bring everything to a boil and let it simmer.

3-Once the pasta is nearly done, mix in 4 cups of small broccoli florets and 1/2 cup of julienned sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another few minutes until the broccoli is tender and the pasta is al dente. For a creamy finish, stir in 1/3 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.

4-Finally, serve your bowtie pasta warm, topped with extra parmesan and optional red chili flakes for a bit of heat. This method ensures a cohesive dish that’s full of flavor and texture, making it one of the best flavorful bowtie pasta options for any meal.
