Preparation facts
Servings: 6
Yield: 10 cups (2.4L)
Ingredients
12 oz (340g) penne pasta, uncooked
5 cloves garlic, sliced
12 oz (340g) Italian sausage, in bulk (removed from casing)
3 cups (345g) broccoli florets
1 cup (240mL) water
Parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook penne pasta in rapidly boiling water until done. Drain and set

garlic turns brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
