Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Italian Sausage

 Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe

We rated this dinner as "excellent."  I really had never cooked with Broccoli Rabe.  Before tonight, the only other time I had even eaten broccoli rabe was on pulled pork sandwich at Citizens' Bank Park in Philadelphia.  "Don't confuse broccoli rabe with broccoli or broccolini; broccoli rabe is a member of the turnip family and has a peppery bite" (The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook). I found the Broccoli Rabe near the green onions in the produce department.  This was a quick and easy week night meal. Please note, I did have to substitute the orecchiette with  a gluten free rotini pasta.
