Steps
Clean the broccoli rabe, remove the spoiled leaves and the thick, hard stems, rinse them well several times in plenty of water. Cut them into pieces with a knife.
Remove the sausage casing and crumble it.
Peel the onion and chop it finely. Also peel the garlic cloves, remove the central core, and chop them.
In a large pan, add some oil (a bit more than usual), add the chopped onion and garlic, and chili pepper to taste, heat for a moment, as soon as bubbles start, add the crumbled sausage, cook everything over low heat, stirring often.
Once everything is browned, add the cleaned broccoli rabe along with 2 tablespoons of water, salt, cover with a lid and cook on very low heat until the broccoli rabe is well cooked (add a little more hot water if needed).
While the broccoli rabe is cooking, put the pot with salted water on the stove to cook the pasta.
Once the broccoli rabe is cooked, check for salt and add a pinch of pepper.
Once boiling, cook the orecchiette 1 minute less than indicated on the package.
Drain the pasta using a slotted spoon and add it directly to the sauce, add the grated cheese and toss for a minute, adding a little pasta cooking water if needed to get a creamy dish.
Orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe is ready to be enjoyed… Bon appétit!
