1 pound broccoli rabe

3/4 pound rotini or other curly pasta

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

freshly grated Parmesan to taste

Bring a small amount of water to a boil in a saucepan, salt generously. Add the broccoli rabe, cover and steam for 2-3 minutes, until just wilted. Remove from the pan and immediately run under cold water to cool.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, onion, bell pepper, garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cooked broccoli rabe and the balsamic vinegar and stir well to mix. Cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Taste for salt and pepper.
Transfer the sausage-broccoli mixture to a large serving bowl. Toss with the pasta and sprinkle generously with Parmesan.
