A simple southern Italian pasta: orecchiette with broccoli and crumbled sausage meat, garlic, chilli and pecorino. 30 minutes, with the pasta and broccoli cooked in one pot.
Cook the broccoli in a pot of salted water for 3 minutes, then add the pasta to the same water.
Meanwhile, fry the sausage meat in half the oil in a large frying pan until crumbly.
Add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds.
Drain the pasta with the broccoli (keeping a mug of cooking water), tip into the pan and toss with the rest of the oil, the water and cheese so the broccoli breaks down a little.
It keeps 3 days in a box; sprinkle with a spoonful of water and reheat covered in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway.

Tips
Cook the pasta and broccoli in the same water: the broccoli breaks down a little and makes a creamy sauce.
The starch in the pasta water binds the sauce, so always save a mugful.
