Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound short pasta, such as fusilli or penne
1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
1/3 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Add broccoli rabe 2 minutes before pasta is done cooking. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and set aside; drain pasta mixture.
  • Add bacon to pasta pot and cook over medium-high until some fat renders, 2 minutes. Add walnuts and cook until nuts are toasted and bacon is lightly browned and crisp, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pasta mixture; toss to combine, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. To serve, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with Parmesan.
