- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 60 ml
- 1 large shallot chopped
- 3 links spicy Italian sausage cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cans 398ml each diced canned tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken stock 946 ml
- 6 cups chopped rapini 190 grams
- 1 cup short pasta of your choice 115 grams
- salt and pepper to your taste
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly grated 50 grams
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat and sauté the shallot until translucent.
Add in the sausage and cook until brown all over.
Stir in the tomatoes and chicken stock, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the chopped rapini and small pasta noodles of your choice and stir.
Season with salt and pepper and cook according to the pasta instructions. (Most small pasta shapes cook in just under 10 minutes.)
When ready, plate and serve topped with a generous sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese alongside some crusty bread for dipping in the broth.
Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
