Steps
To make the pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage, wash and clean the broccoli rabe.
In a pan, brown the crumbled sausage, then transfer it to a small bowl.
In the same pan where the sausage was cooked, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and the garlic clove; if you like, add some chopped chili. Place over low heat and lightly brown the garlic.
Then add the broccoli rabe and cook for 10 minutes; if needed add some water and cook until the vegetables are tender.
At the end of cooking remove the garlic, add the sausage back in and adjust the salt.
In a small pan warm a little extra virgin olive oil, then add the bread crumbs cut into cubes and toast them.
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water; once cooked (preferably al dente) drain and add it to the pan with the sauce.
Toss for a few minutes and serve adding the toasted breadcrumbs. Enjoy your meal!
