1/2 pound orecchiette or Bowties10 ounces hot italian sausage , casings removed6 medium garlic cloves , minced or pressed through a garlic press (1 tablespoon)1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes1 pound broccoli rabe , thick ends trimmed, remaining portion cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth1 TBS extra virgin olive oil1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. Bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the pasta, stir to separate, and cook until al dente. Drain and return the pasta to the pot.
2. While the pasta is cooking, cook the sausage until browned in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into 1/2-inch pieces with a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes.

Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until most of the broth has evaporated and the broccoli rabe is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
