Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound gemelli or other corkscrew pasta
1 (1-pound) bunch broccoli rabe, coarse stems discarded and remainder cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1 cup panko (Japanese crisp bread crumbs)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 (2-ounce) can flat anchovy fillets, drained
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook pasta in a 7- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water 6 minutes, then stir in broccoli rabe and boil until pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes more.
  • While pasta is cooking, toss panko with 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow baking pan until coated and bake, stirring once or twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Season crumbs with salt.
  • While broccoli rabe (with pasta) is cooking, cook garlic, anchovies, and red-pepper flakes in remaining 7 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring and mashing anchovies into oil with a wooden spoon, until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli rabe in a colander, then add to anchovy mixture in skillet, tossing to combine.
  • Serve pasta sprinkled with some toasted panko and pass remainder.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The pasta was cooked al dente and the broccoli rabe was still slightly crunchy.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but I loved them in this dish. They added a nice salty flavor that really complemented the other ingredients.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover broccoli rabe. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and it was delicious!

The combination of flavors in this dish is amazing. The salty anchovies and the bitter broccoli rabe are a perfect match for the nutty gemelli pasta.
