Steps:
- Bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
- Cut 1 to 1 1/2 inches off of the bottom of the broccoli rabe stalks; cut into 1 1/2-inch sections.
- Place trimmed broccoli rabe and orecchiette into the boiling water and boil until pasta is tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sausage and cook for 6 minutes; stir in garlic and cook until sausage is browned and crumbly, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Stir in bread crumbs. Cook until browned and crunchy, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the pasta pot. Add drained broccoli rabe and orecchiette to the sausage. Add red pepper flakes and 1/2 of the bread crumbs and stir well.
- Transfer 1/2 the pasta mixture to a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 the Pecorino cheese. Add remaining pasta mixture to the bowl and top with remaining cheese; mix well. Top with remaining bread crumbs.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water when I was cooking the pasta.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I thought I'd give this dish a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The broccoli rabe was actually quite good and the overall dish was very flavorful.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a salty sausage. Next time I'll try using a milder sausage.
