BROWNED BUTTER ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI RABE



Browned Butter Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe image

Broccoli rabe (rapini) is related to broccoli, but isn't the same as regular or baby broccoli. Broccoli rabe has slender stems, is mostly leaves and has a pleasantly bitter flavor. (Fast, Easy)

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb broccoli rabe (rapini)
1/3 cup butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (8.8 oz) orecchiette (tiny disk) pasta (about 6 3/4 cups)
Toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts, if desired
Shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

Steps:

  • Cut off tough stem ends (about 1 inch) from broccoli rabe and discard. Cut remaining stems into 1-inch pieces. Cut leaves crosswise into 2-inch pieces (about 10 loosely packed cups). Cut any florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Set aside.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until medium golden brown. (Watch carefully because butter can brown and then burn quickly.) Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and salt.
  • Cook and drain pasta as directed on package-except add reserved broccoli rabe stems during last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the browned butter over medium heat. Add reserved broccoli rabe leaves and florets; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until leaves are wilted. Add pasta mixture and remaining browned butter; toss to coat. Heat until hot. Sprinkle with nuts and cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli you can find. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or wilting.
  • Wash the broccoli thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris that may be on the broccoli.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. This will make them easier to cook and eat.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the broccoli. This will give the broccoli plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the broccoli over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the broccoli and give it a slightly crispy texture.
  • Stir the broccoli frequently while cooking. This will prevent it from burning.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the orange zest and juice to the skillet. This will add a bright and citrusy flavor to the broccoli.
  • Cook the broccoli for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the orange zest and juice have been absorbed.
  • Season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately.

Conclusion:

Broccoli with Orange Browned Butter is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The orange zest and juice add a bright and citrusy flavor to the broccoli, while the browned butter gives it a slightly nutty flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table!
