Step 1

Set a pot to boil. to set a pan on medium heat with 3 tbsp olive oil.

Step 2

Mise en place - chop up the sausage, onion, garlic, marinated artichokes, and broccoli.

Step 3

Add the sausage, red chili flakes, and onion to the pan. Cook until onions are soft and they take on colour, and the sausage infuses its fat into the oil.

Step 4

Add in the garlic and marinated artichokes and let them cook down for a few minutes.

Step 5

Add in the broccoli and let cook until they are beginning to soften but still have a bite to them. If the pan seems dry after the broccoli is added, you can add in the last tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Pour the pasta into the pot of boiling water. While the pasta is cooking, add tomato paste into the pan of sausage/broccoli mix and cook it out for a minute before adding in the roasted red pepper paste. Let cook for a few more minutes.

Step 7

Add in parmesan cheese to the pan mix and let melt. Add in the starchy pasta water to loosen the sauce to the desired consistency. Season sauce with black pepper/salt.

Step 8

Check pasta for doneness (the pasta should be slightly under desired doneness/bite). Using a spider strainer, transfer the pasta from the pot of boiling water into the pan. Stir and mix to fully coat the pasta in the tomato/red pepper sauce.

Step 9

Serve the pasta with extra parmesan cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, nutritional yeast (an uncommon but very tasty option), and/or arugula.
