Preparing the Ingredients
1. Prepare the Broccoli Rabe
Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Blanch it in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
2. Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Cooking the Sausage and Pasta
3. Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the sausage in the skillet. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
