Lemon Broccolini and Sausage Pasta

Lemon Broccolini and Sausage Pasta
  • 1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup white wine, divided
  • 1 pound sweet Italian chicken sausage
  • 1 bunch broccolini, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste


  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until onion begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Pour 1/4 cup wine into the skillet; scrape up any browned bits of food with wooden spoon.
  3. Stir sausage into onion mixture; pour remaining wine in gradually as mixture becomes dry. Cook until sausage is thoroughly browned; 7 to 10 minutes. Add broccolini; cook and stir until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add pasta; toss to combine. Stir in Parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Top with additional Parmesan to serve.
