3. Transfer sausage to plate and set aside.

4. In another medium sized pan, add the two cups of heavy whipping cream and turn on low heat, whisking occasionally.

5. Chop broccolini roughly into bite size pieces and add to the pan the sausage was cooked in with 1/2 cup of water. Cover and steam for around three minutes or until they turn a vibrant green color.

6. Once the broccolini is green, add the sausage back to the pan and turn heat off.

7. To heavy cream, add the butter, parmesan and one teaspoon of salt and pepper. Whisk occasionally and let simmer until thickened.

8. Once thickened, pour cream sauce over the broccoli sausage mixture. Grab the cooked pasta and add enough to the sausage mixture for all the noodles to be fully coated (may not need all that you cooked). Cook through for two minutes.

9. Top with extra parmesan and red pepper flakes (optional). 

10. Enjoy.
