Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound kielbasa (Polish smoked sausage), quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch of broccoli rabe (about 1 pound), stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces and the leaves and flowerets chopped coarse
1 cup water
1 pound spiral-shaped pasta such as spiral-shaped pasta such as or fusilli
3 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet brown the kielbasa over moderate heat, stirring, transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the garlic over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is golden, add the broccoli rabe, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the broccoli rabe is wilted. Add the water, simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the broccoli rabe is tender, and stir in the kielbasa. In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the pasta until it is al dente and drain it well. In a large bowl toss together the pasta, the oil, the kielbasa mixture, and salt and pepper to taste.

I love the combination of kielbasa and broccoli rabe in this dish. It's a great way to use up leftover kielbasa.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The kielbasa added a nice smoky flavor, and the broccoli rabe was a great addition. I would definitely make this dish again.
