Ingredients

  • 1 lb broccoli rabe
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 4 medium tomatoes chopped
  • 4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Asiago cheese to taste (or grated Parmigiano Reggiano)
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • red pepper flakes optional
  • reserve 1/2 cup cooking water from the pasta

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain the broccoli rabe. Cut the tough ends off (about 2 inches off) and cut the other part in two more portions.
  • In a medium sized sauce pan, boil the broccoli rabe for about 3 minutes. In another large sauce pan, boil the pasta until al dente.
  • Sautee the onion and garlic on medium-high heat until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for about 3 minutes.
  • Toss in the broccoli rabe and incorporate it with the tomato mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes. The broccoli should be al dente.
  • Incorporate the drained pasta to the broccoli mixture. Drizzle on a little more olive oil and grate on some Asiago cheese. If you feel the pasta is dry, add on the reserved pasta water.
