Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

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.

Cook’s Notes When choosing broccoli rabe, look for bright-green leaves and small florets with no yellow spots. The stalks are also edible; just trim the tough ends.

Cook’s Notes If your skillet isn’t large enough to accommodate both the broccoli rabe mixture and the pasta, you can toss them together in a large bowl instead.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       11/16/2018   It was a good base, but upping the garlic, anchovies, parmesan and adding a little citrus and zest kept it from being completely boring.
