Cristina Ferrare's Big Bowl of Love
Orecchiette With Broccoli Rabe And Sweet Italian Sausage
6 Servings
2 pounds broccoli rabe
4 cups water
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced (not too thin)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 sweet Italian sausages
8 ounces orecchiette
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, sliced thin
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut the stems off the broccoli rabe, along with any discolored leaves.
Bring the water to a boil, add the broccoli rabe, and cover. Boil until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse in cool water, and leave to continue to drain for 5 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press more water out.
Heat a heavy skillet on high heat. Add the olive oil and the garlic, and sauté just until the garlic starts to turn golden. Immediately add the broccoli rabe, and mix well. Add the salt and mix again. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the sausages on a baking tray and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, turning at least three times to ensure even cooking. Remove the sausages from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before you cut them in 1 ½ -inch pieces.
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and place it back into the pot you boiled it in. Turn the heat to medium high, add the broccoli rabe, cut-up sausages, and red pepper flakes, and mix well for 1 minute. Add more kosher salt and red pepper flakes if you like, mix in the lemon juice, and garnish with a slice of lemon. Serve immediately.

I have many cookbooks and I received this book through a feature selection from another book club and I LOVE IT! Basic fool proof recipes.

Nothing new here 
June 30, 2011
If you are a beginning cook - this book might work for you but there is nothing new or different to offer to anyone ele. Most of the recipes seeem to be barely modified versions of recipes available in other books or magazines- most of them at least 3-5 years old (Orichetta with broccoli rabe? Giada did it first - and her photographs are better). The recipes are not paticularly well organized and there was not a single one that made me think "well, thats new" - or "I'd like to make that for dinner".
