Ingredients:

4 sprays cooking spray

1 tablespoon kosher salt (for the pasta water)

12 ounces whole-wheat rotini

1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

12 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, casing removed

4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 ½ cups no-sugar-added, fat-free marinara sauce

1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese 

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large pot of generously salted water, cook the pasta for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Stir in the broccoli rabe. Cook until the pasta is almost al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1⁄2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and broccoli rabe and return to the pot.

Step 3

Meanwhile, coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium-high. Cook the sausage until browned, about 3 minutes, stirring and breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Add the garlic and cook until the sausage is cooked through, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. 

Step 5

Coat a 2½-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Add the sausage to the pasta and broccoli rabe. Stir in the marinara and reserved pasta cooking water. Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with the cheeses.

Step 6

Bake until the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
