Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 bunches broccoli rabe, stems trimmed
1 pound orecchiette pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound turkey Italian-style sausage, casings removed
3 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch dried crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
4 to 6 basil leaves
2 dried bay leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • Cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 1 minute. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool, saving the cooking water. Bring the reserved cooking water back to a boil.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into pieces with a spoon, until browned and juices form, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, when the reserved cooking water is boiling, add the orecchiette and cook until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  • Strain the broccoli rabe and add it to the pan with the sausage mixture and toss to coat with the juices. Add the pasta to the skillet. Stir in the Parmesan and serve immediately.
  • In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
  • Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
  • If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

TURKEY SAUSAGE WITH BROCCOLI



Turkey Sausage With Broccoli image

I had to make something for a luncheon at work. I needed to feed a crowd and I was sooo busy that week that I needed something easy. So here it is. I did this in two days only because I didn't have enough time in one day. It is easy and quite delicious. This got great raves! It's a good party dish. Measurements might be a tad off. I'm the type of cook that just throws in.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Opt for a flavorful turkey sausage that is not too lean. Look for one with a good balance of spices and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sausage from cooking evenly and will result in steamed sausage.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat: Cooking the sausage over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will help to enhance the flavor of the sausage and broccoli.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli is best when it is cooked al dente, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and will lose its vibrant green color.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and add additional salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.

Conclusion:

This turkey sausage with broccoli is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The sausage and broccoli are both cooked in a flavorful olive oil and garlic sauce, and then topped with Parmesan cheese. This dish is sure to please the whole family and is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
