Ingredients:
- 1 big onion, chopped

- 16 oz. uncooked sweet Italian chicken sausage casing removed
- One ounce of white wine,

- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
- Using a spatula, break up the sausage in a big pan over medium-high heat for about two minutes.
- After adding the shallots and broccoli rabe, simmer for approximately 7 minutes, breaking up the sausage as you go.
- Incorporate the wine, garlic, salt and pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat for several minutes, breaking down the sausage and reducing the alcohol content.
- After turning off the heat, transfer the sausage mixture to a mixing bowl and let it to cool for ten or so minutes.
- Make sure there is no excess liquid by draining in a sieve before transferring to a mixing dish and thoroughly mixing in the parmesan cheese.
- Put the egg rolls together: Place each egg roll wrapper individually, points pointing up and down like a diamond, on a spotless surface. Place a quarter of the sausage mixture onto the wrapper’s lower third.
- Run your finger over the edges of the wrapper after dipping it into a small basin of water. Lift the lowest point that is closest to you and encircle the filling.
- Roll into a tight cylinder by folding the left and right corners in towards the centre.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, setting aside.

- Using your fingers, evenly cover both sides of the egg rolls with oil.
- Cook in batches at 370°F for 7 minutes, rotating them halfway through, or until they turn golden brown.
- Serve right away, topped with more marinara sauce if preferred.

- Set oven temperature to 400F for baking.
- Arrange the rolls onto an oil-sprayed baking sheet that has been buttered. Evenly mist each roll with oil.
- Bake until the rolls are crisp and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
