Dinner in a hurry doesn’t get any easier (or tastier) than this Sausage, Broccoli Rabe & Orecchiette recipe. The entire meal, including the pasta, cooks in a single skillet- how’s that for a time- and dish-saver? While you can certainly make this recipe for Sausage, Broccoli Rabe & Orecchiette with another type of pasta, small curved orecchiette are perfectly shaped to hold bits of sausage and greens, ensuring every bite is flavor-filled. The rich sausage and the sweet and savory caramelized onion and Burgundy wine concentrate balances the broccoli rabe’s bitter notes, and red pepper flakes add some heat. And because it’s ready in 20 minutes and only uses 6 ingredients, Sausage, Broccoli Rabe & Orecchiette is the perfect no-fuss skillet meal for busy familes on a weekday.
