Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, basil sprig, salt and pepper, and bring to a brisk simmer. Simmer until sauce is very thick and most of the moisture is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. It should be thicker than the usual marinara sauce. Remove and discard basil sprig.
- Step 2
While sauce is cooking, toss broccoli with oil, red pepper flakes and salt on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet (or use a regular sized rimmed baking sheet), and place in oven.
- Step 3
Arrange sausage in a single layer on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet or in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan, and roast along with broccoli until golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Flip sausages over so browned sides are on top.
- Step 4
When you flip the sausages, remove broccoli from oven and toss with sliced garlic. (Reserve grated garlic for later.) Drizzle broccoli with a little more oil. Return pan to oven and continue to roast broccoli and sausages until sausages are cooked through and broccoli is tender and browned, about 5 minutes longer.
- Step 5
Meanwhile, mix ricotta with grated garlic.
- Step 6
When broccoli is done, remove from oven and tent with foil to keep warm. Top sausage with tomato sauce and dollops of ricotta, then drizzle with olive oil and grind pepper generously over top. Sprinkle on mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the garlic is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Or if you prefer you can broil the cheese to melt it, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Step 7
Serve sausages, sauce and cheeses with broccoli on the side. Pass crusty bread for sopping up the tomato sauce.

Comments
The questions being asked about various recipes is appalling; most of you don't seem to read. If you have a question as to what goes where, and how much, re-reading the recipe carefully usually reveals the answer. This makes questions like amount of tomato sauce and where to put the grated garlic totally unnecessary.
"Tenting with foil" is not going to keep the broccoli warm; never does. Start the broccoli later, about 5 min or so, so that it is done when the sausage is - or just after as the sausage and sauce will stay hot much longer than the broccoli. Use Aleppo over the insipid crushed red pepper. 1/3 cup ricotta split into 4 servings? In what universe? The pic above shows that much on ONE serving. Use 3/4-1 cup. Use diced FRESH mozz rather than the disgusting grate-able rubbery stuff.
I always slice hot sausage on the diagonal to easily distinguish the spicy from the sweet sausage.
Gotta love the 'tweakers' who change everything to the point they're cooking something entirely different, then complain the recipe wasn't what they thought it could be.
Delicious, make two heads of broccoli
I chose to sautee the broccoli with olive oil, tons of garlic and black pepper with a smidge of water. I also cut the sausages into quarters, sliced down the middle and then cut in half. I used a smaller square pan and served the sausages over big slides of bread that had been in the oven with olive oil and melted parm. It ended up being an open faced sausage parm sandwich with sautéed garlic broccoli. It was delicious!
