Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Saute

This is a super easy Italian-inspired saute with savory, slightly bitter broccoli rabe adding a balance to tomatoes and sausage.
Smarts: Be sure to use a pre-cooked or smoked sausage here - it will cook fast and finish just as the broccoli rabe turns tender. If you'd like this dish to be spicy, use a spicy andouille sausage or add some hot sauce as the dish cooks.
