Garlicky Broccoli Rabe

Boiling the broccoli rabe helps remove some bitterness before it's sautéed in garlic-infused oil. If you like it hot, double the amount of crushed red pepper.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)

Ingredients

• 2  pounds  broccoli rabe (rapini), trimmed
• 1  tablespoon  olive oil
• 2  large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4  teaspoon  crushed red pepper

Preparation

Cook broccoli rabe in boiling water 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge broccoli rabe into ice water; drain. Coarsely chop.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in broccoli rabe, salt, and peppers.
