Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package directions.

In a separate sauce pan, heat a little bit of olive oil or vegetable broth over medium heat. Add in your vegan sausage links and allow them to brown, breaking them up with a wooden spoon or potato masher.

Once the sausage has browned add in the garlic and sauté everything for another minute or so.

Add in the vegetable broth, broccoli florets and salt to taste. Bring the broth to a simmer and cover the pot. Allow the broccoli to steam/sauté until cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. If the vegetable broth evaporates, you can always add another splash if needed.

Once the pasta has cooked, drain it and add it to the pot with the sausage and broccoli.

Stir in the pesto, taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. 

Serve warm and enjoy!
