Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and slivered
1 cup bread crumbs, preferably homemade
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
About 1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed and washed
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other long pasta
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When oil is warm, cook garlic just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs and red pepper flakes and cook until bread crumbs are golden, 5 minutes or so. Remove and set aside. 2. Cook broccoli rabe in boiling water until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain well and chop. Cook pasta in same pot. 3. Meanwhile, add remaining oil to skillet over medium-low heat. Add broccoli rabe and toss well; sprinkle with salt and pepper. When it is warm add garlic and bread crumbs and mix well. 4. When pasta is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water. Toss pasta in skillet with broccoli rabe mixture, moistening with a little reserved water if necessary. Adjust seasonings and serve with freshly grated Parmesan.

I thought the broccoli rabe was a bit too bitter, but overall the spaghetti was still pretty good.

The spaghetti was a little bland for my taste, but the garlic and bread crumbs helped to add some flavor.

Not a fan of broccoli rabe, but this dish was still really good. The garlic and bread crumbs were the perfect topping.

This spaghetti was a hit! The broccoli rabe added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the garlic and bread crumbs. I also loved the texture of the toasted bread crumbs.
