Chef notes
Sausage and peppers are a perfect pairing. Adding broccoli rabe, savory onions, white beans and pasta makes this classic combo even better.
Preparation
1.Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the pasta till al dente.
2.In a large heavy bottom skillet, heat olive oil over low heat and brown the garlic. Add the sausage and brown on all sides; then remove and set aside.
3.To the same pan, add the peppers, onions and broccoli rabe and sauté until soft; set aside with the sausages. Add the beans and sauté for 10 minutes.
4.Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss together.
