Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and rinse it thoroughly under cold water. Cut into 2-3 inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sausage

    Remove the casings from the sweet longhini sausage links and crumble the sausage into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled sweet longhini sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes

    Once the sausage is browned, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 6

    Cook the Broccoli Rabe

    Add the prepared broccoli rabe to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli rabe is tender but still bright green.

  4. 7

    Add Mozzarella

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the broccoli rabe and sausage. Cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
