Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1 red chili pepper finely sliced (or 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes)
  • 10.58 oz orecchiette pasta
  • 14 oz broccoli rabe (cime di rapa)
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil, sliced garlic and red chili pepper in a skillet over low heat, and cook until the garlic is golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the cime di rapa. Remove any tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
  3. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, add the orecchiette pasta and cook according to the package directions. For al dente pasta, drain it 2-3 minutes before the suggested cooking time. During the last 5 minutes of cooking time, add in the cime di rapa.
  4. Drain the pasta and cime di rapa, and add them to the skillet with the garlic and red chili pepper. Toss the ingredients to combine, drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil, season with freshly-cracked black pepper and serve.

Notes

  • Anchovy fillets: add two anchovy fillets into the skillet with the garlic and red chili pepper for extra flavor.
  • Breadcrumbs: add a delightful crunch to your orecchiette with broccoli rabe by generously sprinkling toasted breadcrumbs on top before serving.
