Directions

1. Pot and pan prep - Place a medium pot over medium high heat and fill most of the way with hot water. Salt the water and bring to a boil. Once your water boils, toss in your pasta. Cook the pasta 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don’t stick together. Now grab a large pan, place over medium heat, and drizzle with olive oil.
2. Start the sauce - Add your ground chicken sausage to the large pan with hot oil. While that’s cooking, grab your mortar and pestle. Combine your garlic cloves, fennel seed and chili and mash into a paste. Add your paste to the chicken sausage and add a pinch of salt. Break up the sausage in the pan and allow it to brown.
3. Cut stuff - Cut the stem off your head of broccoli, don't toss it, we’re using the whole thing! Thinly slice the stem into matchstick size pieces and add them to the chicken sausage. Now chop the florets into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Using a vegetable peeler, shave shingles of parm onto your cutting board and set aside. Next, slice your onion into very thin strips and add them to your chicken sausage. Once your sausage is browned, add the broccoli florets to the pan too. Season with a big pinch of salt and continue to cook.
