Recipe information

  • Total Time

    10 minutes

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces fully cooked Italian sausage (about 4 links), sliced into 1/4"-thick coins
2 pints cherry tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
4 sprigs thyme
2 bunches broccolini (about 1 pound), trimmed, halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Crusty bread (for serving; optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and thyme, stir to combine, and cook, pressing down on some of the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon to encourage bursting, 2 minutes. Add broccolini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.

    Step 2

    Divide sausage mixture among plates. Serve with bread alongside, if desired.
