Hearty Broccoli and Orecchiette

Simple, Palate Pleasing, and FAST:

1 cup orecchiette pasta
6 cups small broccoli florets
2 T. EVOO
3 cups sliced small crimini* mushrooms
6 oz. spicy* chicken sausage, chopped up or broken into crumbles
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt*
Freshly ground pepper*
Freshly grated Parmesan*

Cook pasta to package directions for al dente in a large pot of salted boiling water; add broccoli 3 mins. before end of cooking time. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water; drain pasta and broccoli, and
set aside. Wipe out pot, add oil, and heat over med. heat. Add mushrooms and sausage, and cook 7-10 mins. or until mushrooms are browned, and sausage is no longer pink. Stir in garlic, and cook 30 secs. Return pasta, broccoli, and reserved pasta-cooking water to pot, and cook 3-4 mins. or until heated through. Season with S&P, and top with cheese.
