Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it thoroughly under cold running water. Cut it into 2-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Prepare Sausage

    Remove the Italian sausage from its casing, if necessary, and break it into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the Italian sausage pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

    Sauté Garlic

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

  3. 6

    Add Broccoli Rabe

    Add the prepared broccoli rabe to the skillet, along with the remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine.

  4. 7

    Cook Broccoli Rabe

    Cover the skillet and let the broccoli rabe cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and bright green.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish or over pasta.
