Orecchiette with Broccoli and Sausage

Southern Italian orecchiette, little ears pasta tossed with sausage and broccoli. Cooking the broccoli directly in the same oil the garlic and chilli were fried in is what lets it soak up their flavour as it softens, rather than tasting plain against the sausage.
