Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly under cold running water. Trim the ends and cut into 2-3 inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage links. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic and Broccoli Rabe

    In the same skillet, add olive oil. When hot, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat in the oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and bright green.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Slice the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the skillet with the broccoli rabe. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
