1
Chop the Broccoli Rabe
Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water and trim the ends. Cut into 2-3 inch pieces.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

3
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
4
Cook the Penne
Add the penne pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

5
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Add the Broccoli Rabe
Add the chopped broccoli rabe to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli rabe is tender.

7
Add Olive Oil and Garlic
Reduce the heat to low, then add the olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
8
Mix in the Pasta
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine well, ensuring the pasta is coated with the oil and mixed with the sausage and broccoli rabe.
9
Season and Serve
Add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Toss again before serving.
