Place the water in a saucepan and season with a little salt. Bring to the boil and add the pasta. Add the broccoli after 8 minutes.

Add 75ml of the pasta water to the frying pan with the sausage and garlic. Turn up the heat and add the Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir and let everything reduce and thicken for a couple of minutes until you have a thick sauce.
