Broccoli Rabe & Sausage
Ingredients
Preparation
Brown the sausage into crumbles in a sauté pan over medium heat, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan, leaving the rendered fat behind.
Add olive oil and butter to the pan. Cook the garlic in the fat for about 2 minutes, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until wilted. Pour in the wine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil orecchiette for 3–5 minutes, until al dente. Drain the orecchiette and add it to a large bowl along with the reserved sausage, the broccoli rabe and sauce mixture, and grated Pecorino Romano. Toss everything to combine.
Serve with additional grated cheese and crushed red pepper, if desired.
