Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season well with salt. Add the broccoli rabe to the water and simmer until the stem is just tender when pierced with a knife, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out any extra water with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Add the almonds to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, 5 or 6 times. Add the basil, oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree until combined and almost smooth. Pour the pesto into a large bowl. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, broccoli rabe and mozzarella and toss well to combine.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season liberally with salt. Add the orecchiette and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a pasta spider, transfer the pasta directly to the bowl with the pesto. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

[email protected]This recipe was just okay. The almond pesto was good, but the orecchiette pasta was a bit too chewy for my taste. I also didn't like the addition of the roasted tomatoes, which I thought were unnecessary.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. The almond pesto was lacking in flavor, and the roasted tomatoes didn't add much. I think I would have enjoyed this dish more if I had added some additional seasonings or herbs.
