Jan's Cavatelli with Broccoli Rabe image

Quick, easy and definitely delicious. Spicy sausage and creamy cavatelli is tossed with tangy broccoli rabe in a delicate chicken and wine sauce. I also use gnocchi in place of the cavatelli on occasion.

Cavatelli and Broccoli with Chicken image

This is a quick dish that is a convienent " meal in a casserole"... which I love!Funny thing is, the picture on the bag of frozen pasta looks like the dish has sauteed pignoli nuts and for years I've made it that way.However,I have since realized that it was sauteed garlic! I now make it with chicken, olives and broccoli without...
