"1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil over high heat.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble in sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add garlic during last minute.

3. Stir in chickpeas, broccoli rabe, oregano, salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 7 minutes or until broccoli rabe is tender. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water if mixture becomes too dry.
