OMG YES!!!! Sausage, white beans and rabe over toasted Italian bread with shaved sharp provolone cheese!! Ohhhhhhhh YEAH!! "Now that's Italian"

Next, add your sliced sausage into a pan with extra virgin Olive oil and brown on both sides.
Next, wash and cut the long stems of your rabe, the best place to cut them is around the bottom of the leaves otherwise they will be tough. Cut the rabe into small pieces.
Next, steam your rabe until they are bright green.
Now your ready to add the rabe into the sausage.
Season with garlic salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder and red chili flakes.
Next add in your roasted garlic. You can slice or mash it up.
Drizzle in some olive oil.
Next, add in your can of cannellini beans.
Sprinkle with some Pecorino Romano.
Cook down on medium and reduce the liquid.
Next toast or grill your bread.
Drizzle your bread with Olive Oil.
Top your bread with your Sausage, White Beans and Rabe.
