Gather @pork sausage{350%g}.

Boil the @broccoli{400%g} florets in the pasta pot for 3 minutes until just tender, then lift out with a slotted spoon into the same water. ~{3%minutes}

Add the @orecchiette{380%g} to the same boiling water and cook until just shy of al dente, about 11 minutes, reserving a cup of the water before draining. ~{11%minutes}

Meanwhile, brown the crumbled sausage in @olive oil{2%tbsp} in a wide skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces, about 6 minutes. ~{6%minutes}

Add the @garlic{4%clove} and @chili flake{0.5%tsp} to the sausage and cook 1 minute until fragrant. ~{1%minutes}

Return the broccoli to the skillet and mash some of it lightly with the back of a spoon so it half-breaks down into the sauce.

Add the drained pasta and a splash of the reserved water, tossing over heat until everything clings together.

Finish with grated @parmesan{40%g} and serve hot.
