For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic. If you can't find fennel sausage, Italian sausage works well as a substitute. To reduce the bitterness of the broccoli rabe, soak it in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. The reserved cooking liquid adds depth and flavor to the dish, so don't skip this step! This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop.
