I love brocolli rabe and beans so this recipe caught my eye. I’m not a vegetarian, so I decided to brown some Italian sausage and add it to the dish at the end with the cheese. Delicious! I had to stop myself from eating most of it in one sitting.

I made it tonight for dinner. It was so good. The combination of the sweetness of the butternut squash and the bitter Broccoli Rabe along with the canellini beans was absolutely delicious. I ate two servings and can’t wait to have it tomorrow.

Great recipe! I’m wondering how this holds up if I want to bring this for lunch the next day. Can I put it into the microwave for a few minutes without it completely becoming super mushy?

Fabulous! I can’t say enough about how great this dish turned out. As I live in a house with men, I garnished the dish with duck proscuitto. A solid ten!!! Thanks.

Just popping in to say that I just made this subbing in broccoli crowns that had been in fridge and added in some cooked, shredded chicken. It is delish!

Hi Ali,
Just want to let you know that even if broccoli rabe is more closely related to turnips than to broccoli, they are all in the in the same family: the mustard family (Cruciferae). That family includes kohlrabi, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, collards, kale, mustard, horseradish, radishes, cauliflower, water cress, rapeseed (better known as canola)… That aside, this recipe sounds very good. I like the flavor combination and the fact that it combines all the carbs we need into one dish.

In reply to Stephie G.. It gives the veggie option for broth! Hope you try it :)

This looks like a great recipe. I’ll have to try it. I know I’m a nitpicker, but you can’t really categorize this as vegetarian if you are adding chicken broth. The vegetarians in the house would need some type of veggie broth.

In reply to Kimmoy. You can find a tutorial on how to spiralize butternut squash on my YouTube page! Link in the "Videos" section (youtube.com/getinspiralized).

How did you cut the butternut squash to spiralize it? Did you take the seeds out?
