When our niece Miss Natalie was a student at USF this was her favorite. When she said she was coming over for dinner we always planned on 2-4 of her college friends coming too.  Today her friend, Seth still calls us “The Uncles” but we now call him ‘Doctor’!!! LOL

1st under cook pasta ( we like shells) about 6-7 minutes and return it to the big pot & covered. (See the M&C pasta Tip)

2.  On top of the stove in a very large frying pan put a little oil, smashed garlic & 1 chopped onion – cook a little.

Add 1″ cut up links of sweet Italian sausage & brown.  Then add 1 can chicken broth & package of frozen chopped broccoli and re- heat.

3. Pour mixture over pasta cover & let sit 10 minutes.

Serve with side salad, bread, parm cheese & give advice to your niece & nephews.  As if they will listen to you!!! LOL LOL

This recipe is easy to increase serving just by adding more pasta or sausage. We have done it many times and is a great comfort food!
