Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble the sausage into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In the same skillet used for the sausage, add the minced garlic and sauté over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the blanched broccoli rabe and cooked sausage back into the skillet. Drizzle with Calabrian chili oil and stir to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  2. 5

    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.
