This recipe appears in our cookbook, "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

Steps:
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain; return to same pot.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add broccoli rabe, anchovies, and crushed pepper; sauté until broccoli rabe is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup basil.
- Add vegetable mixture and lemon juice to pasta; toss to coat.Transfer pasta to large bowl. Add remaining 3/4 cup basil and 3/4 cup cheese; toss to blend. Season pasta to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing remaining cheese.
Tips:
- Choose tender broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with vibrant green leaves and crisp stems. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or have yellowing leaves.
- Prepare the broccoli rabe properly: Trim the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stems and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly under cold water.
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will add a burst of sweetness and flavor to the dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the broccoli rabe, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccoli rabe from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than sauté.
- Season to taste: Season the broccoli rabe with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili flakes, red pepper flakes, or Italian seasoning, to taste.
Conclusion:
Broccoli rabe with tomatoes is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Plus, it's easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. html
