Wash and cut the tough stems off the broccoli rabe. Next give them a rough chop.

Get your pasta cooking. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Remove the sausage from the casing and cook. It should resemble ground beef crumbles. Remove the sausage to to a plate.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the pan and saute. Don't burn the garlic. Add the broccoli rabe. I know it looks like a lot, but it will cook down-promise! Add some salt and pepper. You can add some crushed red pepper here if you like.

When the broccoli has cooked down, add your beans and gently stir. Add the sausage back to the pan, and stir again. Now add your chicken broth. Check for seasoning and continue to cook until your pasta is done.

Reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water and add it to the pan. Continue to cook for an additional minute or two.

Drain your pasta and add it to your pan. Give it all a nice mix. Serve with Parmesan cheese!
