Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Start by boiling water in a large pot and add salt for the pasta.

Add salt to another pot of water for the broccoli rabe.

Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly and trim it.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.

Slice the Italian sausage and add it to the skillet, cooking until browned.

Pour in some white wine to deglaze the skillet and enhance flavor.

Add the broccoli rabe to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until tender.

Drain the broccoli rabe and set aside, ensuring not to overcook it.

Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it, reserving some cooking water.

Combine the drained pasta with the sausage and broccoli rabe in the skillet.

Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot, optionally topped with cheese.
