Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt for pasta water
2 pounds broccoli rabe (weight includes central stems)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound dried or 1 1/2 pounds fresh or ecchiette, or other pasta, like penne
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, more for serving
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In large pot, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut broccoli rabe flowers and leaves away from large central stems. Chop flowers, leaves and smaller stems coarsely, and discard large stems.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped garlic. Once it starts to sizzle, increase the heat to high, and stir in the broccoli rabe. Stir until the greens have completely wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add pasta to boiling water, and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, and return it to pot. Pour cooked greens, remaining olive oil and cheese over pasta, and toss quickly. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately. Pass extra grated Parmesan cheese at the table.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used too many red pepper flakes. Next time, I'll use less and see how it turns out. Otherwise, the flavors were good and the orecchiette was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less olive oil or to drain the broccoli rabe before adding it to the sauce. Otherwise, the flavors were good and the orecchiette was cooked perfectly.

Great recipe! The orecchiette and broccoli rabe were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and well-balanced. I added a bit of crumbled sausage to the dish, which gave it a nice extra layer of flavor. Will definitely be making this again!

This recipe was a bit underwhelming. The flavors were okay, but nothing special. The orecchiette was also a bit too soft for my taste. I probably won't be making this dish again.

Solid 4/5. The orecchiette was cooked perfectly and the broccoli rabe was tender but still had a bit of a bite to it. The sauce was flavorful, but I found it to be a bit too oily for my taste. Overall, a good recipe but could be improved with a few t
