Heat oil and stir in garlic in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and saute until meat is cooked and loses its raw look. Add cooked broccoli rabe to sausage.

Return drained Orecchiette to the pot. Place over medium-high heat and stir in 3/4 cup of broccoli rabe and sausage sauce. Using a wooden spoon, toss together for 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour into a large serving platter or bowl. Spoon remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.
