Great recipe. Easy and fast to put together. Packed with flavor. I used hot Italian sausage because that's what I had on hand and omitted the cayenne pepper - delicious! I could see using broccoli rab instead of broccoli. I think the recipe is very adaptable and you could also substitute chicken, shrimp or other seafood, bacon or other good ham in place of the sausage. I noticed my husband took the leftovers for lunch today, so that really says it's good!Reply

I have made twice, and both times leftovers disappeared before morning. First time used a tin of beef broth and second time used a tin of chicken broth, we like the beef better. I did drain sausages before adding broth. Both times used frozen broccoli which really makes this a fast meal. This is a really easy meal.Reply
