The BEST SAUTEED BROCCOLI RABE With Garlic And Oil
Sauteed garlic and oil broccoli rabe is probably my favorite Italian side dish. All you need is fresh broccoli rabe (rapini), garlic, chili flakes, olive oil, and about 15 minutes. Definitely try it out with chicken cutlets and cherry peppers as I did at the end. I hope you enjoy and learn how to cook broccoli rabe!

Orecchiette with Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, and Cherry Peppers
Today we're making orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. The combination of Italian sweet fennel sausage, broccoli rabe (rapini), cherry peppers, garlic, and orecchiette make probably my favorite weeknight pasta. Any pasta can be substituted. If you can't find broccoli rabe, broccolini or broccoli can be substituted though they lack the characteristic bitter veggie flavor that makes this dish so special! I hope you enjoy this sausage and broccoli rabe pasta recipe!
Sauteed Broccoli Rabe with Garlic and Oil:
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound orecchiette (or pasta of your choice) - cooked to al dente.
- 1.5 pounds ground Italian sausage - removed from casing
- 4-6 cherry peppers chopped - seeds and stems removed
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe - bottom 1 inch cut off and chopped into 2 inch long pieces
- 10 cloves garlic - cut in half
- ¼ cup parsley - minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt/pepper to taste
-1 cup Pasta water - reserve more for thinning, etc
- extra virgin olive oil for finishing
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut broccoli rabe into pieces and blanch in water for 3 minutes and set aside to cool.
2. Saute sausage in large pan over medium heat and until cooked through (about 10-15 minutes).
3. In the same pan add the garlic and a bit of olive oil and saute until golden (about 3 minutes).
4. Add the cherry peppers and broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Season the broccoli rabe with at least 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
5. Add a cup of pasta water and cook for 1 more minute. Add al dente pasta to the pan and mix together well. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the pasta is perfectly finished.
6. Turn off the heat and taste test. Adjust salt and pepper if required.
7. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and the fresh parsley. Serve with plenty of cherry peppers or hoagie spread on the side plus grated cheese.
NOTE: If the pasta gets too dry while waiting to serve, just add a bit more pasta water to loosen it up.
