Orecchiette w/ sausage and crispy broccoli (and peas for m!)

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

2. Link a baking dish with foil, add the broccoli, and toss with 3 TBS olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, make your pasta according to package directions. Drain and save 1/2 cup of the pasta liquid.

4. Add remaining TBS of olive oil to a large skillet set over medium high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until cooked, 5-7 minutes. Add half of the reserved pasta water to the skillet and turn heat to high, cook, stirring, until it looks saucy.

5. Add the pasta, Parmesan cheese, peas, and butter to the skillet and toss together to combine adding more pasta liquid if needed. Divide into 4 bowls and top with the crispy broccoli - if your kids (or husband) allow it.

6. Top with more Parmesan cheese and a dollop of fresh ricotta.
