Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it thoroughly. Cut it into 2-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic and Peppers

    Mince the garlic cloves and slice the hot peppers into thin rings, removing seeds if preferred.

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 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add minced garlic and sliced hot peppers. Sauté for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add the Broccoli Rabe

    Add the broccoli rabe to the skillet, along with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli rabe is tender.

  4. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 7

    Add Mozzarella

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the mixture, cover the skillet, and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
