Ingredients
- 2 bunches broccoli rabe about 1-1/2 pounds
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 pound dried pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound diced pancetta
- 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash your broccoli rabe, remove the bottom 1/3 of your broccoli rabe, and cut into 2-inch chunks.
- Add a large pot of water to the stovetop and set on high heat.
- When the water is boiling add in the chopped broccoli rabe and let it simmer in the water for 1 minute or until the broccoli rabe is bright green.
- Immediately remove the broccoli rabe from the water, and into the bowl of ice water, but leave the water boiling on the stove. We are using this water for the pasta.
- Let your blanched broccoli rabe cool in the ice bath while you start to prepare the pasta.
- Add your kosher salt to your boiling water and add your pasta. Cook your pasta according to the al dente box directions. When your pasta is ready to be drained reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- As your pasta cooks start preparing your pancetta.
- Add your olive oil to a large high-sided 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot add your pancetta and start to brown.
- While your pancetta browns and crisps drain your broccoli rabe and set it aside.
- After your pancetta is crispy and the fat has rendered add lower the heat to medium-low and add in your sliced garlic cloves.
- Saute for about 30 seconds to toast the garlic and release the flavors.
- Remove from the heat and add in cooked and drained pasta, Parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper.
- Add some of the reserved pasta water to help moisten the pasta if it is dry.
- Taste and season with the desired amount of kosher salt and black pepper.
