Yield: 4 servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 pounds | Broccoli rabe |
4 tablespoons | Virgin olive oil |
3 \N | Garlic cloves; thinly sliced |
½ pounds | Hot Italian sausage; sliced 1/8\" rounds |
6 ounces | Dry white wine |
1 pounds | Orecchiette pasta |
2 tablespoons | Salt |
¼ cup | Finely-chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley |
½ cup | Freshly-grated Pecorino Romano |
Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Remove the thick stems from the broccoli rabe and rinse well. Drop the broccoli into the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, just until tender. Remove the broccoli rabe with a slotted spoon into an ice bath, to refresh the greens. Drain the broccoli rabe and set aside. (Keep the pot of water boiling for the pasta.) In a large 12- to 14-inch saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and saute until light brown, about 1 minute. Add the sausage rounds and cook stirring occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off the excess fat.
Add the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes longer. Set aside. Place the pasta in the boiling water and cook until tender yet al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander over the sink. Toss the pasta into the saute pan with the sausage. Add the broccoli rabe and grated cheese, toss together and heat for about 2 minutes, until well mixed and uniformly heated. Pour into a warm serving dish and serve. This recipe yields 4 servings.
