FIRE ISLAND ZITI

I found this recipe in TASTE OF HOME.  It was a big hit with the hubby!  He commented before I ask, "How is it?". It made enough for left-overs and it was just as good the second time around!
FIRE ISLAND ZITI
2 lbs. plum tomatoes-halved lengthwise
3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 c. fresh broccoli florets
1 lb. Italian sausage links (I use  Honeysuckle Italian Sweet Turkey Sausage) cut into 1 1/2 in. slices
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 c. grated Romano or Parmesan cheese (I actually used Parmesan,Romano,Asagio shredded by Kraft)
Toss the tomatoes with 2 tbsp. oil, garlic, and salt (I omit the salt).
Place cut side down in a 15x10 in.baking dish. Bake at 450 for 20-25 min. or until tender. Chop when cool enough to handle.
 Cook ziti according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 4 min. Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage in remaining oil until no longer pink. Add pepper flakes, cook 1 min. longer. Stir in tomatoes and heat through.
Drain ziti mixture, toss with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.
 This goes well with a salad and garlic bread. If you like wine YELLOWTAIL PINOT NOIR is a good accompaniment!
