Yum, yum, yum- that is all I have to say!!
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 links chorizo sausage, casing off and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe, stems trimmed and greens chopped
- ½ cup fresh full fat ricotta cheese
- ½ pound rigatoni, cooked al dente with about a cup of pasta water
- ½ cup parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup dill, chopped

Heat a wide frying pan with the olive oil. Add the chorizo and sauté on medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes till the fat is rendered and the sausage is golden brown. Add the garlic and green onions. Saute on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe and sauté on high heat till the greens wilt down, about 2 minutes. Add the ricotta and rigatoni with about ½ cup of pasta water. Mix well and add more water if needed depending on the consistency. Add the parsley and dill and check for seasonings and add salt if required. Serve warm.
