Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the sausage, garlic, onion, and celery together until the sausage is cooked, about 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add in the broccoli rabe, peppers, and focaccia, and mix until combined. Season with the Italian seasoning and salt, and stir in the broth. Transfer the stuffing to a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish.
  4. Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, increase the temperature to 400°F, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  5. Let rest for 10 minutes, and top with the Parmesan before serving.

Tip: Feel free to use spicy Italian sausage or even pepperoni to add a little heat!
