Number Of Ingredients 8

10 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 whole garlic cloves, peeled and crushed, plus 4 cloves peeled and thinly sliced
8 sprigs fresh thyme
10 plum tomatoes, stemmed and cut in half lengthwise
3 bunches broccoli rabe, stems trimmed up to the base of the leaves
3/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle 6 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Add whole garlic, thyme, and tomatoes, cut sides down. Bake until tomato skins blister, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; peel off tomato skins. Lower oven to 325 degrees. Return tomatoes to oven; bake for 30 minutes. Let cool on pan. Discard garlic and thyme.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add broccoli rabe in 2 batches to boiling water; blanch for 20 seconds. Transfer to ice water. Drain and chop roughly.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add sliced garlic; saute until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add broccoli rabe and stock. Stir in red pepper flakes. Season with salt. Add tomatoes and their juices and cook over medium heat, simmering until broccoli is tender. Season again.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less olive oil.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more garlic and chili flakes.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less broccoli rabe. The roasted tomatoes were delicious though.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli rabe, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The tomatoes really helped to balance out the bitterness of the broccoli rabe. I would definitely make this again.

This dish is so easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. I served it with a side of crusty bread and a glass of wine. It was the perfect meal for a special occasion.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the pancetta from this recipe. The dish was still delicious! I added some extra roasted red peppers to give it a little more flavor. This is a great recipe for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal that was also really healthy. I used whole wheat pasta and added some grilled chicken to make it a complete meal. My whole family loved it!
