Instructions

Boil heavily salted water for pasta. While the water comes to a boil, mince the garlic, cut the sausage into ¼” thick slices, and cut the florets into small pieces.
When the water gets close to boiling, heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the garlic to the pan, saute for just a couple minutes and add the sausage to the pan.
Drop the pasta in the pot to boil and continue cooking the sausage until browned. Add butter into the skillet and toss until melted. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
When the pasta has 2 minutes left to cook, reserve ⅓ cup pasta water and add the chopped broccoli to the boiling water. Transfer the cooked pasta and broccoli into the skillet with the chicken sausage and sauce.
Toss to combine and pour in the pasta water. Continue cooking for another minute or so and then serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
