Prepare the Broccoli Rabe
Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it thoroughly under cold water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli rabe for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

Add Mozzarella
Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sausage and broccoli rabe mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
