Cavatelli with Broccoli Rabe and Cannelini Beans Recipe image

Provided by joanmarie

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling when serving
1 medium onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into bite size pieces
3 cups cannellini beans, cooked till just tender and drained
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound cavatelli pasta, cooked until just al dente and kept warm
1/2 cup pancetta, julienned and sauteed until crispy, drained
Parmigiano-Reggiano or Asiago, shaved or grated, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan heat the 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until just beginning to caramelize around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the cannellini beans, chicken broth, crushed red pepper and basil and cook at a simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the beans are just beginning to break apart, about 15 minutes. The sauce should be brothy. Remove from the heat and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. When ready to serve, transfer the warm pasta to a large bowl. Add half of the sauce and toss to combine. Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, with more sauce ladled over the top. Sprinkle each serving with some of the crispy pancetta and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, to taste. Pass the cheese at the table for guests to add at their own discretion.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cavatelli was cooked perfectly and the broccoli rabe and cannellini beans were a great combination. I would definitely make this again.

This was a great dish! I used whole wheat cavatelli and it was delicious. The broccoli rabe and cannellini beans were a great addition.

This recipe was a disaster! The cavatelli was overcooked and the broccoli rabe was bitter. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cavatelli was cooked perfectly and the cannellini beans added a nice creaminess. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably use a different green vegetable.
