Begin by cutting the Italian sausage into bite sized pieces.

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add in the Italian sausage, and cook for 8-10 minutes until completely cooked through.

While the Italian sausage is cooking, lightly steam the broccoli on the stove top or in the microwave. You just want it to be crisp tender, so do not overcook.

When the sausage has finished cooking, pour off some of the extra grease if necessary. Add the steamed broccoli into the skillet, and gently stir to combine.

Add 2 tbsp of unsalted butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt over the meat and broccoli.

Mix in ½ tsp of Thyme, and 1 tsp of Basil. Stir to coat the ingredients well.

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet. Mix them in well, and then simmer for another minute or two. Mix in salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Italian sausage skillet with a garnish of parmesan cheese.
