# Pasta with Quick Sausage Ragu and Broccoli Rabe | Made In - Made In

Our Culinary Creative Director Rhoda Boone brings you a comforting and familiar favorite of sausage ragu with some added flair in the form of broccoli rabe.

Weeknight pasta dinners often sacrifice taste for convenience, but that doesn’t have to be the case.  This  flavor-packed yet surprisingly simple quick ragu, courtesy of our Culinary Creative Director Rhoda Boone, calls for fresh Italian sausage, but can easily be substituted for plant-based chorizo and made vegetarian or vegan.

The addition of broccoli rabe brings dimension and brightness to a meat-heavy dish, and blanching it alongside the pasta helps to tame some of its bitterness. Even though they are not technically the same and will add a different flavor profile, you can swap the rabe for broccolini or broccoli florets.
