Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds broccoli rabe (about 2 bunches) trimmed and sliced into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for blanching
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ounce parmesan, shaved in strips using a peeler (1/2 cup curls)
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Add the rabe to the boiling water and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and submerge in bowl of ice water until cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and anchovies, stirring and breaking up the anchovies with a wooden spoon. Cook until garlic is fragrant and light golden in color, 1 minute.
  • Add the rabe to the pan with any residual water. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the mixture starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and cook until rabe is crisp tender, about 3 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon onto plates or a platter and top with parmesan and pine nuts.

This recipe is a great base. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts for a more flavorful dish.

I didn't have any pine nuts on hand, so I used walnuts instead. They worked just as well.

The broccoli rabe was not cooked evenly. Some pieces were tender while others were still crunchy.

The broccoli rabe was cooked perfectly - tender but still with a slight crunch.
