How to make Premio Cheese & Garlic Chicken Sausage with Penne:
1. Boil water for pasta and to blanch broccoli rabe.
2. In a saute pan, brown Premio Sausage well. Remove from heat and reserve.
3. Meanwhile, cook 3/4 pound penne pasta in plenty of salted water. Remove pasta from water, making sure to reserve pasta water. Add chopped broccoli rabe into the pasta water; cook for a few minutes to blanch.
4. In the same pan that you browned the sausage in, toss tomatoes with olive oil to coat; add salt and pepper. Brown over very high heat until skin blisters. Reduce heat and add garlic; cook gently until garlic is soft. Add pepper flakes, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste; mix well and cook for 5 minutes over high heat to dry. Add broth and simmer until grape tomatoes are soft and broth is reduced by 1/2.
5. Toss together the sausage and their juices, tomatoes and broth, and broccoli rabe. Add pasta. Add parsley leaves; check seasoning and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with warm.
