Sausage Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

   Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and blanch it in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Once cool, drain again and set aside.

2. 2

   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 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.

3. 3

   Sauté the Garlic

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet with garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Add Sausage and Cheese

   Return the sliced sausage to the skillet and mix it with the broccoli rabe. Sprinkle mozzarella and pecorino cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly.

6. 6

   Serve with Straciatella

   Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and top with dollops of straciatella cheese. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
