Recipe Instructions

* Note: see the "Homemade Italian Sausage" recipe which is included in this collection.

Clean and wash the broccoli rabe. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt and put the broccoli rabe in to cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Strain the broccoli rabe and submerge in cold water to cool quickly. Drain the rabe.

Place the Homemade Italian Sausage links in a skillet and begin to brown slowly, over low heat, partially covered with a lid. They should cook in about 20 minutes.

Put 6 quarts of water in a pot to cook the pasta. Bring the water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. When the pasta is nearly cooked add the rabe to the sausage along with the red pepper flakes. Toss the rabe and sausage together and cover the pan again.

Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water, and put the pasta back into the pot along with the olive oil. Set it over low heat and cook for a moment before pouring the pasta into a serving bowl. Top with the sausage and rabe and plenty of grated cheese and freshly-ground black pepper. The reserved water may be used to moisten the dish if necessary.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
