PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE (CIMA DI RAPA)



Pasta with Broccoli Rabe (Cima di Rapa) image

This is a very popular winter dish in Italy. Broccoli rabe is sauteed then tossed with anchovies, garlic, bread crumbs and grated Pecorino Siciliano cheese. This version was given to me by a Sicilian friend. Enjoy with a nice hearty red wine and you'll be ready for any winter weather! Garnish with a little more bread crumbs and grated cheese.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) box gluten-free tortiglioni pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 anchovies
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 pounds broccoli rabe, stemmed and cut into large pieces
1 ½ cups toasted plain gluten-free bread crumbs, divided
1 cup grated Pecorino Siciliano cheese, divided
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortiglioni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add anchovies and garlic. Saute until slightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes, but do not overcook garlic, as this will make the dish bitter. Add broccoli rabe and stir to coat. Alternately add 1/2 of the bread crumbs and 1/2 of the Pecorino Siciliano cheese, stirring constantly, adding 1/2 tablespoon oil while mixing.
  • Drain pasta and fold into the mixture, taking care not to break the pasta. Fold in remaining cheese and bread crumbs gently. Top with remaining oil. Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with red pepper.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI RABE



Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe image

Tips: Cook the broccoli rabe the night before and you'll be way ahead. Whatever you do, read the recipe through start to finish before you get started. It's a little out of the ordinary but relatively painless. Cook off the garlic and sausage up to one hour ahead and let it sit in the pan until you're ready to finish the dish.

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente.

ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND RED PEPPER



Orecchiette With Broccoli Rabe and Red Pepper image

Orecchiette with broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is a classic dish from Apulia, the region of Italy that makes up the heel of the country's boot shape. To make the dish more colorful, I added red bell pepper to the traditional mix. The sweetness of the peppers makes a nice contrast to the bitter greens.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound broccoli rabe
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
Salt
3/4 pound orecchiette
2 ounces ricotta salata, pecorino, or a mix of pecorino and Parmesan, grated approximately 1/2 cup grated

Steps:

  • Cut away the tough stem ends of the broccoli rabe and wash well. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with salt and add the broccoli rabe. Cook for 5 minutes, until tender, and transfer using a spider or a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice cold water. Let sit for a few minutes and drain. Squeeze out water and chop very fine. Bring the water back to a boil and add the orecchiette. Cook al dente, following the timing instructions on the package (usually 9 to 10 minutes).
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the diced red bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the broccoli rabe. Toss together for a minute, season to taste with salt, and remove from the heat but keep warm.
  • Stir 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water into the greens. Drain the pasta and toss it with the greens, peppers, and cheese. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop the broccoli rabe, peppers, and garlic, and measure out the other ingredients before you start cooking, so everything is ready to go.
  • Cook the broccoli rabe and peppers in stages: Cook the broccoli rabe first, until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Then, remove it from the pan and cook the peppers until they are also tender. This will ensure that both vegetables retain their vibrant color and flavor.
  • Use a large pan or pot: This will give you plenty of room to toss the pasta and vegetables, and it will also help to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Add the pasta water to the sauce: This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce that coats the pasta perfectly.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This linguine with broccoli rabe and peppers is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So, next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying pasta dish, give this recipe a try!
