Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 pinch dried chilli flakes
- 1 small head broccoli, divided into small florets
- 1/3 cup basil leaves, roughly torn

Method
- Cook pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to packet directions. Add broccoli for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.
- Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook, turning frequently, for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan. Reduce heat to low. Slice sausages and return to pan with garlic, chilli and lemon rind and cook, stirring, for a further 3-4 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
