Ingredients

220 g broccoli rabe  
160 g pipe rigate, or other short cut pasta   2 1/2 cups
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil   23 mL
1 1/2 clove garlic, minced or pressed  
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated   6 g
  salt to taste    
  ground pepper to taste    

Before you start

Keep the serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.

Method

  1. Prepare the broccoli rabe: remove any tough portions of the stalks and wash well. Blanch in a pot with plenty of salted water about 4-5 min, then drain. Cut the broccoli rabe into chunks and set them aside, keeping them warm.
  2. To save time, the rest of the sauce preparation and pasta cooking can be done at the same time. Cook the pasta.
  3. In the meantime, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently sauté the minced or pressed garlic 1-2 min, with stirring, until soft without letting it burn. Add the drained broccoli rabe and season with pepper.
  4. Pour the drained pasta into the pan and mix with the seasoned broccoli rabe. Adjust the seasoning, add the grated parmesan, then serve in the warmed dishes.
