Yield Makes 4 to 6 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 quart reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 quart water
1 bunch broccoli rabe
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lb medium pasta shells
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring broth, water, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce heat and keep at a bare simmer.
  • Trim tough stem ends from broccoli rabe, then cut remaining stems crosswise into 1-inch pieces and reserve. Coarsely chop florets and leaves.
  • Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onion with 1/2 teaspoon salt until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and sauté 1 minute, then add pasta, broccoli rabe stems, and 3/4 cup hot broth and simmer briskly, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding hot broth, about 3/4 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until pasta is almost al dente and creamy-looking, 12 to 13 minutes. Stir in remaining broccoli rabe and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until pasta is al dente and broccoli rabe is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. (If needed, add more hot broth to moisten; there will be some broth left over.) Stir in cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with more cheese on the side.

The pasta shell risotto was a bit too heavy for my liking. The flavors were nice, but the dish was just too rich for me. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

Tried this recipe and it was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it a bit more flavor. The risotto was creamy and the broccoli rabe was cooked perfectly though.

This recipe was easy to follow and the risotto turned out great! I omitted the broccoli rabe, as I didn't have any on hand, but it was still delicious. The sun-dried tomatoes added a nice tangy flavor. Will definitely make this again.

Just made this pasta shell risotto with broccoli rabe and it was a hit! The risotto was creamy and cheesy, while the broccoli rabe added a nice crunch. Loved the pop of flavor from the sun-dried tomatoes. Will definitely make this again!

Wow! This pasta shell risotto turned out amazing! I followed the recipe precisely, and the result was a creamy, flavorful dish that my family loved. The broccoli rabe added a nice touch of bitterness that balanced the sweetness of the tomatoes. Defin
