Servings: 4
- 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
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.
