Rigatoni with Cannellini Beans, Sausage and Broccoli Rabe

Recipe courtesy of melbride2005

6 servings

1 pound rigatoni
6 hot sausages, cut into small chunks (you can use sweet sausage, turkey sausage...whatever you like)
chopped garlic (use as much as you like)
1 bunch broccoli rabe
1 can cannellini beans, drained
chicken broth
white wine
a little bit of olive oil
crushed red pepper

boil water for pasta. In the meantime, steam the broccoli rabe and set aside.

Put a little oil in a deep frying pan, add garlic and crushed red pepper, then add the sausage. Cook on medium flame. When it's done browning, add the broccoli rabe, stir it up, and add just enough white wine and chicken broth to keep it all moist (not too much).

Once the liquid reduces, add the beans. You can add salt at this point also if you need it.

Drain the pasta and put it back in the pot. Add the sausage mixture to the pot and mix into the pasta. Toss some grated Romano cheese in and serve immediately.
