    This was really good. Fun with the big shells. I doubled the broccoli rabe for added greens which I’d do again. They cook down a lot

    This is a really lovely combination. I used half broccoli rabe and half regular young broccoli because that’s what I could get. I also found his sausage seasoning a bit underflavored so I added more at the sauté stage - next time I’d add 1/2 more spices. Finally, I used giant fusilli because large shells have become absurdly hard to find in my markets. Three generations thoroughly enjoyed this dinner, served with a chicory-laden green salad with a mustard vinaigrette.
