Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends and cut into 2-3 inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Broccoli Rabe

    Add the broccoli rabe to the skillet. Stir to coat with the oil and garlic. Add salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli rabe is tender but still bright green.

  4. 6

    Combine with Sausage

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the broccoli rabe. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
