Things my husband cooks for me: sausage and rapini pasta!
octobre 15, 2013
Have you ever
eaten rapini? Also commonly known as broccoli rabe, it’s a delicious green
vegetable that Italians eat often. It’s one of my all-time favourite
vegetables; it’s just a little bitter, and it’s so simple to prepare. You can
enjoy it steamed with olive oil, or lightly fried up with garlic. Delizioso!
One way my hubby
likes to prepare rapini is in this very simple pasta dish. I have to mention
that my hubby doesn’t normally like pasta. Let me tell you, it’s quite the
conversation starter because he’s Italian. People will ask: “How did you marry
an Italian who doesn’t like pasta?” Well, the truth is that the only way he
enjoys pasta is when it’s served with some kind of meat sauce. (I long for my
simple tomato and basil sauce, but I digress.) Anyway, he loves a good
Bolognese sauce, or even spaghetti with meatballs. We both like this sausage
and rapini dish because there’s the best of both worlds: veggie lovers and meat
lovers will enjoy!
Sausage & rapini pasta
·
Boil water for pasta (we used
penne, but you can use any short pasta)
·
Open up approximately 3
sausages (spicy or not, it’s up to you.) Fry up the seasoned minced meat and
set it aside.
·
Wash and steam half a bundle of
rapini. Slice the rapini leaves and stems into smaller pieces.
·
Cut up 4 medium-sized tomatoes
into cubes.
·
Add rapini and tomatoes into
the meat over medium heat, stir it up
·
You can add sliced up mushrooms
if you like
·
Add a pinch of salt and crushed
chili peppers
·
Mix it all in with cooked pasta...
·
Buon appetito!
Simple weeknight dinner! Have a great week
