Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Wash the broccoli rabe under cold water to remove any dirt, then trim the ends of the stems.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Remove and immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

  4. 4

    Combine and Cook

    Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet. Season with salt and toss to coat in the oil and garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice and Cheese

    Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Serve hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
