Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large head of broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut into small florets
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 lb rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for pan
1 lb italian-style turkey sausage, with fennel (removed from casing if uncooked or thinly sliced if precooked)
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained (1 can cannellini beans can be used)
2/3 lb skim mozzarella cheese, grated, 1/4 cup reserved
3/4 cup skim milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese, finely grated, 1/4 cup reserved
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 9-x-13-inch gratin or baking dish.
  • In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, broccoli and garlic. Simmer the broccoli and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened. With a slotted spoon remove the broccoli and garlic to a large bowl. Bring the water back to the boil, add the pasta, and cook the pasta for about 2 minutes less than the package directions suggest, about 11 minutes. The pasta should be al dente, a little firm.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add sausage and the garlic cloves from the broccoli bowl, and cook, stirring frequently until meat is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes, if using fresh sausage. (If using fully cooked sausage, cook until surface is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.) With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to the broccoli, and drain most of the oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Discard the garlic.
  • Toss drained pasta with sausage mixture. Add beans, stock, 3/4 cup of grated mozzarella cheese and all of the ricotta. Add remaining salt and pepper. Gently toss. Transfer to prepared gratin or baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • If making this in advance, allow the mixture to come to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, until heated through and crusty on top.
