Categories     Garlic     Pasta     Broccoli Rabe

Yield Makes 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large head of garlic, separated into cloves
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
8 ounces corkscrew or gemelli pasta
1 pound broccoli rabe, lower coarse stems discarded and remainder cut crosswise into 2-inch strips
Accompaniment: grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a 6- to 8-quart pasta pot of water to a rolling boil and season generously with salt.
  • Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole, then cut them lengthwise into thin slices. Cook the garlic slices in the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil bubbles, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the garlic slowly, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the red pepper and remove the pan from the heat (the garlic will continue to cook in the residual heat).
  • Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook it, stirring once or twice in the beginning, according to the package instructions. About 4 to 5 minutes before the pasta is done (depending on how tender your broccoli rabe is), stir in the broccoli rabe and continue to boil the mixture, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli rabe is tender.
  • Drain the pasta mixture in a colander and transfer it to a large serving bowl. Spoon the garlic/oil mixture over the pasta and drizzle it with additional olive oil to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with dark green leaves and firm, crisp stalks. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or have yellowing leaves.
  • Prep the broccoli rabe properly: Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly and trim the tough ends of the stalks. Cut the broccoli rabe into 2-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli rabe: Broccoli rabe should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add some red pepper flakes or chili peppers to the dish. Just be sure to adjust the amount to your own taste.
  • Serve immediately: Broccoli rabe is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then reheat it gently before serving.
