Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe, rinsed, trimmed, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound orecchiette pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 or 2 anchovy fillets (optional)
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt generously. Add broccoli rabe. Cook until leaves are wilted, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer broccoli rabe to colander; drain well.
  • Return water to a boil, and add pasta; cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until soft, 30 seconds, being careful not to brown. Add anchovy fillets, if using, and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in broccoli rabe; cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add pasta to broccoli rabe mixture; toss to combine, adding reserved cooking water as desired. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Serve with Parmesan and lemon wedges.

I love this dish! It's so simple, yet so flavorful. The broccoli rabe is slightly bitter, but it pairs perfectly with the sweet garlic and the salty anchovies. The orecchiette pasta is the perfect shape to hold all of the sauce. I always make a doubl

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste. The broccoli rabe was very tough, even after cooking it for a long time. I also found the anchovies to be too salty. Overall, I was not a fan of this dish.
