10-Minute Sausage Skillet with Cherry Tomatoes and Broccolini

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 12 ounces fully cooked Italian sausage (about 4 links), sliced into 1/4"-thick coins
• 2 pints cherry tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
• 4 sprigs thyme
• 2 bunches broccolini (about 1 pound), trimmed, halved lengthwise
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
• Crusty bread (for serving; optional)

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and thyme, stir to combine, and cook, pressing down on some of the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon to encourage bursting, 2 minutes. Add broccolini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
2. Divide sausage mixture among plates. Serve with bread alongside, if desired.
