ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE
There is a restaurant in the West Village that serves this and I order it every time I go. I finally decided to make it myself, and after a couple of attempts and tweaks, I've got it down.

Steps:
- Remove any tough outer or damaged leaves of the broccoli rabe. Cut off the stems and tear the leaves into large pieces (about 3 to 4 inches). Wash in a sink filled with cold water. Shake off excess water.
- Place broccoli rabe in a deep saucepan with cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring just to a simmer over high heat. As soon as bubbles appear at the sides of the pan, remove it from the heat.
- Remove 1 cup of cooking water and set aside. Drain the rest.
- Heat oil and stir in garlic in a large saute pan over medium heat (don't burn the garlic!). Add the sausages and saute until meat is cooked and loses its raw look.
- Salt and pepper to taste, and saute one minute.
- Add the rabe water, grape tomatoes and red pepper flakes.
- Raise heat and cook until sauce is hot. Once hot, reduce to medium.
- Meanwhile, cook orecchiette in rapidly boiling water until al dente.
- Drain orecchiette and add to the broccoli rabe and sausage sauce and toss with a wooden spoon.
- Remove from heat, add pine nuts and pour into a large serving platter or bowl. Spoon remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.
