Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems if they are tough.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Remove and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sausage

    While the broccoli rabe is blanching, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Garlic

    Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and sauté for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Sausage Back

    Slice the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a main dish or side.
