We just had this for a very yummy supper.  It is a pretty simple recipe, and not too many ingredients.  For the sausage, I got HyVee's ground italian pork sausage. I opted for the spicy kind, and it did have some zip to it!  Also, I took a couple handy shortcuts.  For the broccoli, I got a bag of broccoli florets -- cut, washed, and ready to go.  For the garlic, I used a teaspoon from a jar of ready-to-use minced garlic. 
8 ounces uncooked penne
1 pound hot italian sausage
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (14 oz. each) seasoned diced tomatoes
3 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup shredded cheese (Asiago, Romano, or Parmesan)
Cook penne according to package directions; drain.  Return to saucepan; keep warm.
Meanwhile, place sausage and onion in large skillet.  Cook and stir until sausage is no longer pink, stirring to break up meat; drain fat.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute.  Stir in tomatoes and broccoli.  Cover; cook 10 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Add sausage mixture to penne; toss well.  Sprinkle with cheese. 
Great with garlic bread or rolls!  Makes 4-6 servings.
