Steps:
- Working in batches, cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 1 minute per bunch. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Strain the cooled broccoli rabe and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the reserved cooking water, the raisins, and cook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Just before serving, toss the mixture with the pine nuts.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

Steps:
- In a large kettle set over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic just begins to brown. Immediately add the broccoli rabe, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rabe is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, cool and coarsely chop. (You should have about 1 1/4 cups.)
- Meanwhile, heat another tablespoon of oil in a small saucepan, set over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the onion to a food processor, add 4 tablespoons of the pine nuts and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and process until smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff-pastry dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Using a ruler as your guide, cut a 12-inch-by-6-inch rectangle from the dough (this will form the base of the tart) and carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. From the remaining dough, cut two strips, each measuring 3/4 inch by 12 inches. (These will form the edges of the tart.)
- Use a pastry brush to wet the sides of the base with water and carefully attach edge strips, pressing with your fingertips to firmly adhere the pastry. Use the tines of a fork to prick the pastry all over, including the edges. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Brush the attached edges with beaten egg and spread the onion and pine-nut mixture over the base of the tart. (Do not cover the edges.) Top the tart with the rabe and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of pine nuts. Bake until the pastry is lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Drizzle the top with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, cut into 4 portions and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with bright green leaves and firm stalks. Avoid wilted or yellowing broccoli rabe.
- Clean the broccoli rabe properly: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stalks. Then, rinse the broccoli rabe thoroughly under cold water.
- Don't overcook the broccoli rabe: Broccoli rabe should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slightly crunchy texture. Overcooked broccoli rabe will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the dish the best flavor. Avoid using pre-shredded Parmesan cheese, as it often contains fillers and preservatives.
- Toast the pine nuts before using them: Toasting the pine nuts will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Serve the broccoli rabe immediately: Broccoli rabe is best served immediately after it is cooked. It can be reheated, but it will lose some of its鮮脆度.
Conclusion:
This spicy broccoli rabe with Parmesan and pine nuts is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The broccoli rabe is tender and slightly crunchy, the Parmesan cheese is salty and flavorful, and the pine nuts add a touch of sweetness and crunch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
