Prepare the Broccoli Rabe
Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it thoroughly. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Blanch the Broccoli Rabe
Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Sauté the Broccoli Rabe
