Heat a large pot over medium-high heat; add oil; add sausage; cook, breaking sausage into small pieces, until golden brown and no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
Remove sausage to a platter; set aside.
Reduce heat to medium; add garlic cloves; cook 1 minute. Add pasta, broth, 2 c. water, oregano, salt and pepper; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium or medium low; simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in broccoli. Cover; cook until pasta and broccoli are just tender, about 5 minutes, stirring half-way through.
Uncover. Add sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream and sausage; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in cheese and lemon juice.
Serve topped with more cheese and red chili flakes, if desired.
4-6 servings.
