Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch (about 1 pound) broccoli rabe
2 slices of bacon, cut into julienne strips
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2 pound linguine

Steps:

  • Trim and discard any yellow or coarse leaves and the tough stem ends from the broccoli rabe and chop the broccoli rabe coarse. Wash the broccoli rabe and drain it. In a large heavy skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat and in the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onion and the garlic over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley, the lemon juice, the zest, the red pepper flakes, and salt to taste.
  • In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the linguine for 7 to 9 minutes, or until it is al dente, adding the broccoli rabe 1 minute before the pasta is done. Drain the linguine mixture well and transfer it to the skillet. Toss the linguine mixture until it is combined well and sprinkle it with the bacon.

This was a great weeknight meal! It was quick and easy to make, and the flavors were delicious. I used whole wheat linguine and added some extra red pepper flakes for a little spice. It was a hit with the whole family!

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the flavors are always amazing. I usually use broccoli rabe, but I've also made it with kale and it's just as good. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

This was a delicious and healthy meal. I used whole wheat linguine and added some extra broccoli rabe. The lemon and garlic really brought out the flavor of the rabe. It was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and red pepper flakes. The broccoli rabe was cooked well, but the lemon flavor was a bit too subtle. Overall, it was an okay recipe, but I probably won't make it again.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli rabe, but this dish changed my mind. The bitterness of the rabe was perfectly offset by the sweetness of the lemon and the saltiness of the cheese. I highly recommend this recipe!
