1
Prepare the Broccoli Rabe
Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe, then rinse thoroughly under cold water. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli rabe for about 2-3 minutes. Remove and immediately place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. After a few minutes, drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Long Hot Peppers
Wash and dry the long hot peppers. You can either leave them whole or slice them lengthwise. If you prefer them milder, remove the seeds.
3
Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and cook the Italian sausage links until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Ensure they are cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing them on a diagonal.

4
Assemble the Dish
In the same skillet used for the sausage, add the blanched broccoli rabe and long hot peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Slice the sausage and add it to the skillet, mixing everything together.
5
Add the Whiz Cheese Sauce
Drizzle the whiz cheese sauce over the sausage and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
6
Finish with Chili Crisp
Transfer the mixture to a serving platter and top with chili crisp, adjusting the amount to your spice preference. Serve hot.
