Italian Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Pasta
Our Purnell's Italian Sausage makes the best pasta dishes, and this is no exception with garlic, broccoli, and spices over rotini. "It's Gooo-od!"
Directions
Remove and discard broccoli stalks, chopping the rest into medium-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
Cook the pasta until al dente, adding broccoli rabe for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
While pasta is boiling, heat 2 tbs olive oil in a large skillet on medium temperature. Cook the sausage until a light golden brown, stirring consistently. Then reduce heat and add garlic, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Drain pasta and broccoli rabe, reserving 3/4 cup cooking water. Add pasta and broccoli to skillet along with 1/2 cup reserved water. Toss together well combining an additional 2 tbs olive oil.
Sprinkle with fresh parmesan. If needed, add more reserved water. Season with salt, pepper, lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Serve!
