Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch (about 1 pound) broccoli rabe
2 slices of bacon, cut into julienne strips
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2 pound linguine

Steps:

  • Trim and discard any yellow or coarse leaves and the tough stem ends from the broccoli rabe and chop the broccoli rabe coarse. Wash the broccoli rabe and drain it. In a large heavy skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat and in the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onion and the garlic over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley, the lemon juice, the zest, the red pepper flakes, and salt to taste.
  • In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the linguine for 7 to 9 minutes, or until it is al dente, adding the broccoli rabe 1 minute before the pasta is done. Drain the linguine mixture well and transfer it to the skillet. Toss the linguine mixture until it is combined well and sprinkle it with the bacon.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I needed to add more lemon juice and garlic. Other than that, it was pretty good. I especially liked the toasted breadcrumbs. I think they added a nice touch of crunch.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The broccoli rabe was actually really good. The lemon and garlic really helped to balance out the bitterness. I would definitely make this dish again.

This recipe was a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables! My kids loved the broccoli rabe and they didn't even notice the lemon. I also liked that this dish was relatively healthy. I will definitely be making it again.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I used too much lemon juice. Other than that, it was pretty good. I especially liked the toasted breadcrumbs. I think they added a nice touch of crunch.

I love this recipe! It's so simple and quick to make, but it's also really flavorful. I always have broccoli rabe on hand, so this is a great way to use it up. I also like to add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the finished dish. Yum!

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious! I used whole wheat linguine and it turned out great. The broccoli rabe was a little tough, but I think that was because I didn't cook it for long enough. Next time I'll make sure to cook
