Rye Pasta with Broccolini, Italian Sausage, and Lemon

Inspired by Granor Kitchen's very own Kaitlin Williams, this is her broccolini go-to. You can also substitute mushrooms for the sausage if you aren't eating meat. 

Ingredients

1 pack Jake's Italian Sausage links, cut into chunks
1 onion, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, minced, or 3 stalks green garlic, sliced thinly
2 bunches broccolini, cut into 2 inch long pieces
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 lb rye pasta, boiled to al dente
parmesan or pecorino to finish

Method

  1. In a large frying pan, heat a glug of olive oil over medium heat and add the sausage
  2. Allow it to brown and cook through
  3. Add the onion and garlic with a hefty pinch of salt and allow to sweat
  4. Add the broccolini and sautee to pick up a little bit of color, about 5 minutes
  5. Add the white wine to steam the broccolini the rest of the way
  6. Meanwhile cook the pasta to al dente then drain
  7. Combine the pasta with the broccolini and sausage mixture
  8. Add the lemon zest and juice and finish with several gratings of cheese
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired and serve immediately
