Ingredients
- 10 oz broccoli rabe or baby broccoli or broccolini
- 1/2 lb orecchiette pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage fresh
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 cup chicken stock or broth
- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese divided
Instructions
- Wash and trim (on an angle) just the ends of the stems of the broccoli rabe*. If you have thicker stalks, slice them in half lengthwise so all of your broccoli are similar in size.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously, then add broccoli rabe to a steam basket, reduce heat to a simmer, place a lid on the pot, and steam for 4-5 minutes or until tender.
- Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove broccoli rabe and place in a bowl of ice water. Set aside.
- Using same pot, increase heat and bring water back to a rolling boil. Cook pasta according to pasta directions for al dente.
- Drain pasta and set aside.
- Add olive oil to a large heated skillet. Over medium-high heat, cook Italian Sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon to create small crumbles.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Add red pepper flakes (optional),
- Add chicken broth and scrape bottom of the pan to deglaze. Increase heat and allow chicken broth to thicken a bit, stirring occassionally.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in sun dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of the pecorino romano cheese.
- Add cooked broccoli rabe and pasta to the skillet stirring to combine and reheat the broccoli rabe and pasta.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 pecorino romano cheese and serve warm.
Notes
- *You can cut them into smaller bite sized pieces if desired, but I like the presentation of longer pieces.
