Method

Preparation

Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

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

Mince the Garlic

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

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. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Add Garlic and Seasonings

Once the sausage is browned, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook the Broccoli Rabe

Add the prepared broccoli rabe to the skillet along with the salt and a splash of water. Stir well and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli rabe is tender.

Add Mozzarella

Once the broccoli rabe is tender, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Season to Taste

Season with black pepper to taste, and stir everything together before serving.
