I am, again, a very bad boy.
One of my favorite foods is pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe. But the rabe at the store was crappy. However... the broccoli was not. So I employed one of my favorite bait-and-switches... finely minced broccoli mixed with shredded arugula! The broccoli provides the... broccoli... and the arugula provides a strong hit of the bitterness that the rabe would have added.
So, as usual, I stared out by sautéing... All Together Now... a ton of garlic... with crumbled hot Italian sausage... in EVOO...
Then I sautéed finely minced broccoli, red pepper flakes, and a little water to steam-sauté the broccoli without browning the garlic. When the broccoli was crisp tender, I added handsful - or handfuls - of chopped arugula, a splash of white wine, and the sausage.
This reduced for a few moments, and then I added the almost cooked pasta... reserving, of course, some pasta water.
I allowed the pasta and broccoli mix to marry for a bit, thinned the sauce with pasta water, turned the stove off, added some Parmesan... tasted for salt...
...Poured a glass of pinot noir, and really REALLY enjoyed myself.
