Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and rinse it under cold water to remove any dirt. If the stems are very thick, you can slice them in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Broccoli Rabe

    Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet. Stir to combine with the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the broccoli rabe. Toss everything together and cook for an additional minute. Serve warm.
