Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water and trim the ends. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli rabe for about 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Add Cheeses

    Remove the skillet from heat and add the mozzarella, straciatella, and pecorino cheese to the mixture. Stir until the cheeses are melted and well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sausage and broccoli rabe mixture warm, garnished with additional pecorino if desired.
