Spicy Broccoli With Sausage

1/2 lb Spaghetti, linguine or dried

Chinese noodles 1 bn Green onions

1 tb Minced ginger

3 lg Cloves garlic, minced

1 ea Head broccoli

1/2 lb Country sausage

3 tb Soy sauce

1/4 ts Hot red pepper flakes or red

Chili paste

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook 8 minutes, or until barely tender. Trim and dice green onions. Mince ginger and garlic. Gut stems off broccoli and cut head into small florets. Peel stems and cut them into strips about one-fourth inch by 3 inches.

Heat wok or wide skillet over high heat and add sausage. Cook, breaking the sausage up and stirring until sausage is browned. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat. Add half the green onions, all the ginger and garlic. Cook 1 minute. Add soy sauce, broccoli florets stems and hot red pepper flakes. Stir over highest heat for about 3 minutes; broccoli is bright green and still crisp. Add drained cooked noodles and toss to combine. Serve hot sprinkled with remaining green onions. Serves 3 to 4.

I would assume that you could use zucchini when in season or try different types of sausage.
