SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI RABE, TOASTED GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS



Spaghetti With Broccoli Rabe, Toasted Garlic and Bread Crumbs image

Broccoli rabe can take whatever you throw at it and still shine. Its mild but distinctive bitterness dominates almost anything you cook it with - but what's wrong with that? So a pasta sauce that features it teamed with garlic and chili flakes is a natural. Add bread crumbs for crunch and the dish is a real winner. You can use the same pot for cooking the broccoli and the pasta; you can use the same skillet for toasting the bread crumbs and finishing the dish. The whole thing will be done within 20 or 30 minutes, and it will showcase broccoli rabe beautifully, as it deserves.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, more as needed

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
About 1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and washed
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other long pasta
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When oil is warm, cook garlic just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs and red pepper flakes and cook until bread crumbs are golden, 5 minutes or so. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook broccoli rabe in boiling water until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain well and chop. Cook pasta in same pot.
  • Meanwhile, add remaining oil to skillet over medium-low heat. Add broccoli rabe and toss well; sprinkle with salt and pepper. When it is warm add garlic and bread crumbs and mix well.
  • When pasta is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water. Toss pasta in skillet with broccoli rabe mixture, moistening with a little reserved water if necessary. Adjust seasonings and serve with freshly grated Parmesan.

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE



Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile image

This speedy, two-step recipe yields broccoli - or practically any vegetable - that is perfectly browned and cooked all the way through. After florets and thinly sliced stems are seared, add a little water and cover so the broccoli steams in its own juices until fork-tender. Not only does this bring out the vegetable's inherent sweetness, but it softens whatever flavorings you add without burning them. This recipe embraces the prickly heat of chile and garlic, but you could also use ground spices, thyme or rosemary, ginger or scallions, capers or olives. Swap the broccoli for sliced carrots or sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, broccoli rabe, or green beans, adjusting cook time and water as necessary.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, sliced
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Provided by Stephen Van Houten

Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Tips:

  • Choose fresh broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Steam or boil the broccoli: This is the best way to preserve the broccoli's nutrients and bright green color.
  • Do not overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more pungent flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy fat that will add flavor to the dish.
  • Season the broccoli to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

Garlic broccoli is a simple but delicious dish that is packed with nutrients. It is a great side dish for any meal, or it can be served as a main course with a side of rice or quinoa. This dish is also very versatile and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as carrots or bell peppers, or you can add a protein, such as chicken or tofu. No matter how you choose to make it, garlic broccoli is a healthy and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
