Instructions

Rinse the broccoli florets under running water and cut them in half or four if they are too large. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook for 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove the casing from the sausage by gently pulling on it with your hands. Cut it into small pieces and set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and sauté the garlic clove and chilies for a few minutes. Add the sausage and cook until it has a nice toasted color. While it's cooking, crumble it as much as possible with a fork.
Using a skimmer, without throwing out the cooking water, scoop out the cooked broccoli and add it to the sausage over high heat. When you have added all the broccoli, lower the heat and let everything cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the garlic and chilies if you like. Keep warm.
Bring the broccoli water back to a boil and add the pasta. When cooked, remove the pasta with a skimmer and transfer it to the sauce pan with the heat turned back on.
Cook for a few minutes, adding a little cooking water if necessary. Serve the pasta on individual plates with plenty of broccoli and sausage sauce.
