  Sausage and Peppers Pasta With Broccoli Time : 20 Minutes  When coupled with spaghetti, the traditional Italian flavor combination of sausage and peppers produces a filling and simple midweek supper. Broccoli is a great nutritious ingredient that adds texture and cooks quickly. If you prefer a more aggressive vegetable, though, you can choose between broccolini or broccoli rabe.
