Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 5.45 oz./ 156 gm broccoli florets
  • 1 lb. /454 gm pasta
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 10 sage leaves
  • 1 tablespoon grated garlic
  • 3 318 gm./11.25 oz. turkey sausage
  • 5.35 oz./151 gm. Chabichou Du Poitou French goat cheese
  • ¼ cup walnut
  • grated parmesan cheese while serving

Instructions
 

  • Peel the skin off the turkey sausage and take out the meat. Take 1 tablespoon of the meat and shape it into a rough ball. Repeat it with rest of the meat and then, keep them aside to be used later.
  • Place a small pan on medium high heat and toast the walnut for few seconds. Once done, take it off the pan to a chopping board and roughly chop it. Keep aside once done.
  • Place a big pot of water on medium high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, drop the pasta and the broccoli florets. Cook for 8 minutes and keep a big colander ready on the sink to drain the pasta when done.
  • Simultaneously, place a wide 9-inch pan on medium high heat and layer a plate with kitchen towel. Once the pan heats up, drop the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the sage leaves and cook for a minute. Take off the leaves and place it on the kitchen towel.
  • To the same pan, add the grated garlic and stir for a few seconds. Put the turkey sausage dumplings that were kept aside earlier. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, stirring every now and then. Add the goat cheese, give it a stir and give it a minute for it to melt.
  • Save ¼ cup of pasta water and drain the pasta along with broccoli using the colander and tumble the whole thing into the pan. Give it a stir, pour the reserved pasta water and give it a mix once again. Check for salt and add any, if required.
  • Shave some parmesan cheese on top, layer the crispy sage leaves and scatter the toasted walnut. It’s ready to serve.
