Sausage And Broccoli Rabe Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes

BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place broccoli rabe and salt in a large pot of boiling water. Cook 12 minutes, or until stems are tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup of liquid.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook sausage 10 minutes, or until evenly browned.
• Remove sausage from saucepan. Stir garlic into saucepan, and cook approximately 30 seconds. Place broccoli rabe and reserved cup of liquid in pan, and mix in 1/2 the lemon juice. Return sausage to pan, and allow the mixture to simmer approximately 10 minutes. Mix in remaining olive oil and lemon juice before serving.

SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place broccoli, baby potatoes, carrot, and onion in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil, mustard, Pecorino Romano cheese, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat, then spread vegetables in an even layer on a sheet pan. Arrange sausages in the pan, pushing aside the vegetables so that the sausages touch the bottom of the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven, flipping sausages and vegetables halfway through until sausages are no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE PARMESAN WITH GARLICKY BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, basil sprig, salt and pepper, and bring to a brisk simmer. Simmer until sauce is very thick and most of the moisture is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. It should be thicker than the usual marinara sauce. Remove and discard basil sprig.
• While sauce is cooking, toss broccoli with oil, red pepper flakes and salt on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet (or use a regular sized rimmed baking sheet), and place in oven.
• Arrange sausage in a single layer on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet or in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan, and roast along with broccoli until golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Flip sausages over so browned sides are on top.
• When you flip the sausages, remove broccoli from oven and toss with sliced garlic. (Reserve grated garlic for later.) Drizzle broccoli with a little more oil. Return pan to oven and continue to roast broccoli and sausages until sausages are cooked through and broccoli is tender and browned, about 5 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, mix ricotta with grated garlic.
• When broccoli is done, remove from oven and tent with foil to keep warm. Top sausage with tomato sauce and dollops of ricotta, then drizzle with olive oil and grind pepper generously over top. Sprinkle on mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the garlic is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Or if you prefer you can broil the cheese to melt it, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Serve sausages, sauce and cheeses with broccoli on the side. Pass crusty bread for sopping up the tomato sauce.

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Add salt and broccoli rabe to the boiling water. Cook until just tender. Drain, and transfer to ice bath. When cool, drain, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallots; cook until just golden. Add sausage; saute, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until cooked through. Add broccoli rabe and stock. Cook until heated through.
• Into the same large pot, add pasta; cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
• Add pasta to skillet; toss to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with cheese; toss to combine. Serve immediately.

BROCCOLI RABE WITH HOT ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
• Place the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking up the sausage with the back of a fork until crumbly. When the sausage begins to release its fat, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned, about 7 minutes. Pour off as much of the fat as possible.
• Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the chicken broth. Lay the broccoli rabe over the sausage, season with the salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook until the broccoli rabe is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Divide the broccoli rabe among 4 plates. Spoon the sausage and broth over it and serve immediately with roasted potatoes.
