Tonight I made this dish from the Feb All You Magazine. I thought it was really good. The entire meal cost $11.88 for all the supplies and I even doubled it for my family. So about $.99 a serving.
Orecchiette with Broccoli, Tomatoes and Sausage
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: Serves 6
Cost per Serving: $1.21
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces hot or sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings
1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes, with juice
Salt
1 pound orecchiette or pasta shells
4 cups small broccoli florets (from one head)
Shredded Parmesan, optional
Preparation
1. Warm oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until it loses its pink color, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of juice has evaporated and sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
2. While sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Stir in pasta and cook according to package label directions. In last 2 minutes of cooking time, stir in broccoli and continue to cook until pasta is al dente and broccoli is tender. Drain, return to pot and toss with sauce. Serve immediately, with shredded Parmesan on the side, if desired.
looks great we will have to make this one!
Great video! I loved the cutie in the middle of the table. This is off topic but who did your blog design? It is great!
My brother In Law, is an artist he did all the artwork. 42brushes.com
Sounds delicious…I’ll have to try it. We used to put our youngest in the middle of the table in her Bumbo seat too. She LOVED being the center of attention! 😀 She’s going to be 4 this month, so no more Bumbo for us. 🙁
That video was adorable! Loved seeing the kids enjoying a meal together. They are so cute! I have just found this website and want to say THANK YOU for putting this all together. Last week you saved me over $10 and this week (I go on Saturdays) I should save over $20. My husband is glad that I found you. Thanks again!
Looks delicious & sounds easy enough! thanks for the review & the kids like it as well! How cute are they!?!?
Loving your blog! I will definitely try this one as my kids love all things pasta. I have 6 kids, two of which are big teenage boys, so maybe I’ll tripple the recipe. LOL 🙂
I made it tonight and it was deeeeeeelish.
Thanks for the review. I had cut this one out to try but hadn’t tried it yet. Now I will!
This looks really great. I love it when other people test recipes and tell me whether or not they are good. Thanks Paul, and thanks for saving me and my family money!
I loved the movie Julie and Julia (or something like that)… where she cooked thru the book… anyway – I LOVE seeing someone else cooking a recipe from a magazine or something and letting everyone know that it came out good. So, keep it up. I’d like to see others. I’m headed to the store tomorrow, so this one is on the menu.
Omg I love this site..it is awesome!! I just found your site and now it’s my favorite! I made this tonight and it’s delicious. Your kiddo’s are adorable! One note..could you make a special area for recipes??
thanks!
