Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it thoroughly under cold water. Cut the stalks into manageable pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Add Broccoli Rabe

    Once the sausage is cooked, add the olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the broccoli rabe, and sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.

  2. 4

    Combine Cheeses

    In a separate bowl, mix the mozzarella and ricotta cheese together until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine All Ingredients

    Add the cheese mixture to the skillet with sausage and broccoli rabe. Stir to combine everything evenly, allowing the cheese to melt slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm, optionally garnished with additional red pepper flakes or grated cheese.
