Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 12 oz. orecchiette
- 1 lb. broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 2" pieces
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 andouille sausage links (about 6 oz.), sliced into coins
- 3 Tbsp. butter, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. During the last 2 minutes, add broccoli rabe and cook 1 minute. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and broccoli rabe together.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter and garlic and season generously with pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add ½ cup reserved pasta water and bring to a simmer. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, broccoli rabe, and pasta and toss to combine.
Add Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, and red pepper flakes. Toss constantly to melt cheese, removing skillet from heat when about half the cheese has melted. If sauce is still too thick, loosen with more pasta water. Season with salt before serving.
