Begin boiling water for the pasta. You can add olive oil and salt to taste
As the water is boiling you can begin breaking apart the broccoli heads for later
Once the water is boiling add your pasta
As the pasta boils you can prepare the Italian sausage by either rolling small balls or breaking it up into ground sausage
Pour the broccoli into a pan (you can add olive oil to it) and a little bit of water. Cover the pan with a lid. Once you see the broccoli darkening you are done
By this time the pasta should be done. Take a half cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and pour back into the pot used for boiling. Add the half cup of water
Pour your container of basil pesto into the pasta pot and start mixing. Once satisfied pour in the broccoli and start mixing
In a pan pour a small amount of olive oil, add your prepared sausage and cover the pan with a lid. You are done once the sausage is browned
Now you can mix in the sausage into the pot and season with pepper and red crushed peppers
