Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Recipe

When growing up, I had my fair share of broccoli rabe. It is a little bitter, but if you buy it in season, you will see why Italians love broccoli rabe. This Sausage and Broccoli Rabe recipe is one I modified from my mom's version. It's delicious on quinoa or rice, or even pasta.
