Cooking Tips
Make sure the sausage is the fully cooked variety. You can use any type of sausage you prefer.
The pasta can be any shape. Fettucine is used most often, but Ziti or shells will be great also. Just follow the cooking times according to the shape you use.
Serve this with a warm slice of garlic bread and you should be set for a easy meal with easy cleanup.

I love Kielbasa but hate Broccoli. I think it would be great without broccoli don't you?
Hi, SirDent
Thanks for the comment. The great thing about cooking something for yourself is that you can make the recipe anyway that you want. I'm sure it would be fine without the broccoli or you could substitute something else, like cabbage or tomatoes. This is an original recipe that I made up and I like broccoli, so that's why it is in there. Besides, don't you think it is a really pretty shade of green? Have fun and experiment with your cooking.
Katherine
