Penne with Sausage, Garlic, and Broccoli Rabe
Use hot turkey Italian sausage to add a little kick to this hearty, quick penne pasta meal. For a less bitter flavor than broccoli rabe, substitute Broccolini.

My 11 year old son wanted to cook something for dinner tonight with Italian sausage & pasta & broccoli. Yes, that's really what he wanted... This was an easy recipe for him to follow & prep. He used bow tie pasta & added 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion & 1/2 cup each chopped yellow & red bell pepper. He also added a little crushed red pepper to finish it. It was great!
This gets extra points for ease and having so few ingredients. We don't like Italian sausage, so I used chopped ham. Used the broccolini option. Overall, an enjoyable dish.
I used hot italian turkey sausage and it was delicious! You definitely don't need to add salt if you use hot sausage though.
We use this type of CL recipe for ingredient proportion, not so much for the specific directions. Even so, made to recipe with whole grain penne & topped with shaved peccorino romano. Served with spinach-mushroom salad & garlic ciabbatta sticks. Simple, easy & economical.
Great recipe-- very quick and delicious...added a little shredded parmesan cheese to each serving for extra flavor.
