I found the dish to be a bit too salty. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli rabe, but this recipe changed my mind. The crumbs added a delicious crunchy texture and the flavors all came together perfectly.

Broccoli rabe with Tuscan crumbs was a hit! The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was perfectly balanced by the salty, savory crumbs. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, and it was divine.
