BROCCOLI RABE PASTA WITH GOLDEN GARLIC

Categories     Garlic     Pasta     Broccoli Rabe

Yield Makes 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large head of garlic, separated into cloves
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
8 ounces corkscrew or gemelli pasta
1 pound broccoli rabe, lower coarse stems discarded and remainder cut crosswise into 2-inch strips
Accompaniment: grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a 6- to 8-quart pasta pot of water to a rolling boil and season generously with salt.
  • Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole, then cut them lengthwise into thin slices. Cook the garlic slices in the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil bubbles, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the garlic slowly, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the red pepper and remove the pan from the heat (the garlic will continue to cook in the residual heat).
  • Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook it, stirring once or twice in the beginning, according to the package instructions. About 4 to 5 minutes before the pasta is done (depending on how tender your broccoli rabe is), stir in the broccoli rabe and continue to boil the mixture, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli rabe is tender.
  • Drain the pasta mixture in a colander and transfer it to a large serving bowl. Spoon the garlic/oil mixture over the pasta and drizzle it with additional olive oil to taste.

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.
