Italian Broccoli Rabe Sausage Roll

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!

Stuffed Pizza Dough?

Stuffed Pizza Dough is a perfect stuffed rolled pizza dough baked, sliced with everything inside like a sandwich.


We love broccoli rabe.


It's a tender part of the broccoli family.



Sauteed Broccoli Rabe is delicious by itself, this is just another great way to eat it!


Added minced garlic and olive oil to the pan and viola a banquet of fragrant Italian greens!

It's A Sandwich all rolled in one pizza dough

This makes a delicious sandwich all in one rolled up glorious pizza dough.



You can make a whole meal out of this.



Add an antipasto and some good Chianti and you're good to go.

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.


This Broccoli Rabe Sausage Roll is one of my all-time favorite pizza rolls.

Easy To Make

Whether you make your own dough or buy the pizza dough, this is very easy to follow the recipe.



One the dough is rolled out, add the filling, roll it up, let it rest with seam side down and bake it!

Make A Whole Meal Out Of This Pizza Roll

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!
