Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup uncooked fusilli pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 sprig fresh rosemary
½ teaspoon dried Italian herb mix, or to taste
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
¼ cup white wine
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 green onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the broccoli rabe, sprinkle in some salt, and bring the salted water to a boil. Stir in the broccoli rabe, and cook until bright green and just starting to become tender, about 2 minutes; drain the rabe, and cool in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Fill a pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fusilli, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the 2 roughly-chopped garlic cloves until they start to turn translucent, about 2 minutes; sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir in rosemary sprig, dried Italian herb mix, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Stir in the blanched rabe, white wine, and tomatoes; remove rosemary sprig, and bring the mixture to a boil. Mix in the cooked fusilli pasta, green onions, and 1 minced clove of garlic; simmer for 1 more minute, and serve topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH VINEGAR-MUSTARD GLAZE



Roasted Broccoli With Vinegar-Mustard Glaze image

On its own, roasted broccoli is a treat: caramelized and crisp-tender, with frizzled florets and sweet stems. To prevent overcooking, roast at a high heat and on one side the whole time. Flipping the broccoli to brown on both sides increases the chance that it will dry out or turn to mush before the outsides are as caramelized as you like. To give the broccoli a little pizzazz, this recipe takes inspiration from a classic mustard pan sauce, which makes chicken breasts or steaks sparkle. Toss the broccoli with butter, vinegar and Dijon mustard right out of the oven, and the heat from the sheet pan will meld them into a silky, bright sauce.

Categories     dinner, lunch, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds broccoli, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer, cut-sides down, and roast, without flipping, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the butter, vinegar and mustard to the broccoli on the sheet pan and toss until the butter's melted, scraping up browned bits from the pan as you go. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Select broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse them thoroughly. You can also blanch the broccoli for a few minutes to preserve its color and nutrients.
  • Use good quality white wine: The type of wine you use will significantly impact the flavor of the dish. Choose a dry white wine with a fruity or floral aroma, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the broccoli, don't overcrowd the pan, or it will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the broccoli in batches if necessary.
  • Season to taste: Season the broccoli with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of butter for extra flavor.

Conclusion:
