This recipe was a disaster! The chicken sausage was dry and overcooked, the broccoli rabe was tough, and the orecchiette was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using a milder chicken sausage next time.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken sausage was especially flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli rabe, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken sausage and orecchiette were delicious, and the broccoli rabe was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken sausage was juicy and flavorful, the broccoli rabe was tender, and the orecchiette cooked perfectly. We all agreed that this is a keeper.
