Ingredients
- 6 Villaggio® Italian Style Sausage Buns, toasted
 - 6 spicy Italian sausages
 - 1 large bunch of rapini, trimmed and blanched
 - 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
 - 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and freshly ground pepper
 - 6 slices provolone cheese, halved
 
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grates well. Grill sausages according to package directions. Meanwhile, toss blanched rapini with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 or 3 minutes or until lightly charred and tender.
 - Assemble sausages in toasted buns with rapini and provolone cheese.
 
Tip: Blanching the rapini removes some of the bitterness. To blanch, add rapini to pot of boiling salted water; cook for 2 minutes. Drain well and pat dry.
