Place the broccoli rabe on a large, rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until the broccoli rabe is roasted + crisp, about ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until the broccoli rabe is tender crisp. Remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a heavy bottomed pot, cook the pancetta over medium heat, stirring until the pancetta is lightly browned, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper. Cook, stirring until the veggies are softened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Push the veggies off to the side of the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the center of the pan and crumble in the ground sausage. Cook without stirring for ⏱️ 3 minutes and then begin breaking up the meat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, and thyme. Cook another minute or so.
