One of our favorite pasta dishes! I know, we have a lot of favorites, but how can you choose??!! Everytime I eat one, I say:"Thi is definitely my favorite!".
But seriously, this really IS one of our favorites! A part from the fact that sausages and broccoli rabe are the perfect combo, and a staple in our home, the shape of the orecchiette acts as a little bowl, holding the juices from the sausages, the broccoli rabe, the white wine and the starchy pasta water, giving your test buds, and your whole mouth an unforgettable experience!
It came together in 20 minutes and it is super satisfying!
