How do you make Italian sausage stuffe d with broccoli rabe?

While I like the first part of your answer...it is a vegetable and I suggest you PREPARE it one of two ways...blanch it in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then shock it in cold (ice) water to stop the cooking, then saute it in olive oil that has been seasoned by sauteing about 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and some red pepper flakes. Or you can simply trim it and saute it in the oil, the pre-blanch and shock method does usually produce a nicer looking product helping maintain the green color...season with salt and pepper or toss with some pasta...either way is good.

You don't make it. It's a green vegetable you either buy or grow. If you have broccoli rabe, trim the tough stalks and simmer the vegetable in water with a little salt; when it's tender drain and cook gently in butter.

Can you lose weight by eating just steamed broccoli?

If you make a drastic change in your diet, you may lose weight initially, but it is unhealthy in the long run and you would gain it all back (and sometimes more) once you started eating other foods again.

You can improve your diet if you include steamed broccoli and other vegetables in your diet, as well as fruit. You should also consider consuming less animal products, processed foods, sugary snacks, and alcohol (which is just empty calories).

Also, remember to exercise! The simplest things, such as taking walks and doing aerobics while watching TV can help.
