Italian Broccoli Rabe Sausage Roll

Sunday, July 10, 2016
Italian Broccoli Rabe Sausage Roll is a gourmet sausage roll in my eyes.


Broccoli rabe is a delicious style green found in many Italian households usually used in sandwiches, pasta and as a side dish for any kind of meal.


This is a great combination inside pizza dough that gives this a whole meal in itself using the sausage and greens together.


It can also be used as an appetizer before a big meal.


Broccoli rabe is pretty unique in flavor and you can find more information about this green vegetable here.


If you love sausage rolls, this is a wonderful change with broccoli in it, you may also want to try my antipasto roll.


This has all the taste of a great sandwich of these greens with homemade sausage, cheeses, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil flavors.


Of course, you can leave the meat out if your vegetarian, not a problem at all, still perfectly delicious!

Pizza Dough



I love to make my own pizza dough, it's mom's recipe.


It always comes out light, delicious and perfect for all pizza and stuffed pizza dough.


We also love to make garlic knots with the dough.

Mom Made The Best




Mom always made homemade sausage, homemade pizza dough and the broccoli rabe was sauteed perfectly.


I will always look back and think of her when I make this.

Add a nice antipasto salad, make sure you have a good Traditional Sunday tomato sauce on the side for dipping the sliced pizza roll into and viola, you have the perfect dinner meal.


Great for an afternoon lunch or brunch with a good Chianti.

The Filling



Well if your family doesn't like sausage or broccoli rabe, it's ok.


You can stuff your pizza dough however you like, this just happened to be my favorite one.


Meatballs crushed, pepperoni or any other kinds of meat you like with shredded cheese will be the experiment recipe for you.


All stuffed pizza rolls are wonderful, I love this stromboli recipe also!


You can even make it all vegetarian, with spinach and ricotta cheese with shredded mozzarella like a calzone style.


The possibilities are endless!

Broccoli Rabe



Here in Florida, we sell broccoli rabe year-round.


Hopefully, you can find this tender Italian style broccoli.

Preparing the Broccoli Rabe



Mom boiled it to get the dirt left behind out first, then sauteed.


She didn't purposely make it just for this pizza roll, Broccoli rabe is great in sandwiches on Italian crusty bread too.


Don't worry if you didn't use it all up in the roll, you can also put on pasta with cooked sausage and tomato sauce, another delicious meal!

Cheesy Stuffed Pizza Dough Rolls



If you decide to make this for your family and never had it, I would strongly suggest you make the broccoli rabe first, taste it and see if you like this delicious garlicky green.


They are my all-time favorite.


You can also make a small open-top regular pizza with broccoli rabe on top but I promise you, if you love greens and sausage, this is a winner meal!
