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.

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE (CIMA DI RAPA)
This is a very popular winter dish in Italy. Broccoli rabe is sauteed then tossed with anchovies, garlic, bread crumbs and grated Pecorino Siciliano cheese. This version was given to me by a Sicilian friend. Enjoy with a nice hearty red wine and you'll be ready for any winter weather! Garnish with a little more bread crumbs and grated cheese.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortiglioni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add anchovies and garlic. Saute until slightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes, but do not overcook garlic, as this will make the dish bitter. Add broccoli rabe and stir to coat. Alternately add 1/2 of the bread crumbs and 1/2 of the Pecorino Siciliano cheese, stirring constantly, adding 1/2 tablespoon oil while mixing.
- Drain pasta and fold into the mixture, taking care not to break the pasta. Fold in remaining cheese and bread crumbs gently. Top with remaining oil. Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with red pepper.

BROCCOLI RABE WITH GARLIC
I confess, I have an addiction to broccoli rabe. I love the bitter flavor of this delicious green vegetable. I have always believed that bitter is such an important, yet under rated flavor in our culture. http://www.elanaspantry.com/broccoli-rabe-with-garlic/

SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI RABE, TOASTED GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS
Broccoli rabe can take whatever you throw at it and still shine. Its mild but distinctive bitterness dominates almost anything you cook it with - but what's wrong with that? So a pasta sauce that features it teamed with garlic and chili flakes is a natural. Add bread crumbs for crunch and the dish is a real winner. You can use the same pot for cooking the broccoli and the pasta; you can use the same skillet for toasting the bread crumbs and finishing the dish. The whole thing will be done within 20 or 30 minutes, and it will showcase broccoli rabe beautifully, as it deserves.

Steps:
- Blanch broccoli rabe in a pot of salted boiling water until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain well; let cool on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook garlic in oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli rabe, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through. Serve with lemon wedges and red-pepper flakes.
- Remove garlic from oil, and set aside. Place pan back over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add broccoli rabe. Cook, turning occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Return garlic to pan. Season with salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes, if using. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with bright green leaves and firm stems. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or have yellowed leaves.
- Prepare the broccoli rabe properly: Before cooking, trim the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stems and remove any wilted or damaged leaves.
- Don't overcook the broccoli rabe: Broccoli rabe should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slightly crunchy texture. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the broccoli rabe, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the broccoli rabe with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately: Broccoli rabe is best served immediately after it is cooked.
Conclusion:
Broccoli rabe pasta with golden garlic is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The broccoli rabe is tender and flavorful, the garlic is golden and aromatic, and the pasta is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
