Description

This dish is a delicious combination of fresh broccoli, crunchy pistachios and hearty sausage. The orecchiette, also known as ear-shaped pasta, perfectly capture the creamy pesto sauce. I like to make this recipe when I need to be quick, but still want something special on the table. The broccoli provides a pleasant freshness, while the pistachios give the pesto a fine nutty note. The sausage gives the dish a hearty component. A great dish for the whole family!
