Gnocchi With Sausage & Broccoli Rabe image

I have always been a lover of broccoli rabe, having eaten it at my Italian grandmother's house since early childhood. However, I have never really been a sausage fan. Having seen the two ingredients on Italian restaurant menus for quite some time now, I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. The combination really is very flavorful.

1 (17 1/2 ounce) package gnocchi
1 1/2 lbs broccoli rabe, tough stems removed and coarsely chopped, about 8 cups
1 lb Italian sausage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
1/2 cup pitted black oil-cured olives, preferably kalamata, halved
1/4 cup white wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
