Cavati with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage

Clean the Broccoli Rabe by trimming any tough ends and discarding yellowed leaves. Wash thoroughly under cold water.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Broccoli Rabe and blanch for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain well and roughly chop.

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 30 grams of Extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian Sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked Italian Sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
