Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ pound (about 2 cups) dried cavatelli or other small shell-shaped pasta
½ pound (about 3 links) sweet Italian sausage
1 bunch (about ¾ pound) broccoli rabe, tough and hollow stems discarded, washed well
1 garlic clove, minced
1¼ cups low-salt chicken broth
¼ cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Accompaniment: freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling salted water cook pasta until al dente.
  • While pasta is cooking, squeeze sausage from its casings into a large heavy skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring to break up chunks, until no longer pink. With slotted spoon transfer sausage to a bowl, reserving drippings in skillet.
  • Cut broccoli rabe into 1-inch pieces and sauté in reserved drippings, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown. Add garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add broth and raisins and simmer until broccoli rabe is just tender, about 3 minutes. Add butter, stirring until incorporated.
  • Drain pasta and return to kettle. Add broccoli rabe mixture and sausage and heat through if necessary.
  • Serve pasta with Parmesan.
