Milk Street Recipe

Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe

30 minutes

Orecchiette, or pasta resembling “little ears,” is the classic choice for this dish; its cup-like shape is ideal for catching bits of the broccoli rabe. If you can't find orecchiette, campanelle is a good substitute; it cooks in just about the same time. Adding the broccoli rabe in two stages gives the dish textural interest, as some pieces will be fully tender and almost saucy, white others retain a bit of bite. To crush the fennel seeds, pulse a few times in a spice or coffee grinder or use a mortar and pestle. Once everything is in the skillet, the pan will be filled to the brim; the easiest way to stir is with two spatulas and a gentle tossing motion

Ingredients
  • 12

    ounces hot Italian sausage, casings removed

  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions
  1. 01
    In a medium bowl, combine the sausage with ⅓ cup water. Stir with a fork until well combined; set aside. In a large pot, bring 2 quarts water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the orecchiette, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes; the pasta should be tender at the edges but still quite firm at the center. Drain in a colander set in a large heat-safe bowl; reserve the cooking water and pasta separately.
