"Sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped broccoli rabe cook in a creamy, cheesy sauce with corkscrew pasta." — Jimmy Dean

Directions

Cook sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat 4-5 minutes or until hot, stirring frequently; drain. Return sausage to skillet.
Add broccoli rabe and tomatoes; mix well. Cook over medium heat 4-5 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.
Stir in all remaining ingredients. Bring just to a boil, stirring constantly; simmer 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened.

Footnotes

Cook's Tips:
Substitute: 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Regular Flavor Pork Sausage Roll for crumbles.
Cellentani or cavatappi pasta is a pasta tube that has been twisted to resemble the shape of a corkscrew. If you don't have either of these pastas, you can use rotini or fusilli pasta instead.
For best results, use grated, not shredded, Parmesan cheese.
Serve topped with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

This was delicious. I used hot sausage meat and "crumbled" it myself and also used light cream instead of whipping cream to save on some of the fat. Next time I will use a little less broccoli rabe, as it was a little too bitter for our taste.

Fantastic! Due to allergies, I had to use turkey sausage crumbles, and it was great. I used fat free half and half with a touch of cornstarch to thicken instead of the whipping cream to cut down on the calories, and meet my dietary needs. I toasted the pine nuts, and it added a wonderful flavor. Thanks for this great recipe!

Good for a quick meal. Used JD turkey crumbles and subbed frozen peas for the broccoli.

Good with some additions, like onions and garlic with less whipping cream
