CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI RABE WITH FUSILLI PASTA



Chicken and Broccoli Rabe With Fusilli Pasta image

This recipe was printed in Boston Globe's 'Ask the Chef' column this week. The recipe originates from Rino's Place in East Boston. It's pretty tasty (even my 9 year old devoured it) and gave me an excuse to try a new veggie -- broccoli rabe. I'm posting the recipe the way I made it tonight, but if you want to try the Rino's Place, full calorie version, use 5/8 C of oil instead of 1/3 C and add 4 tablespoons of butter at the same time as the wine. I made this with whole wheat fusilli -- its a bit heavier and a little nuttier tasting than regular fusilli, and offers your family a serving of whole grains. I think this dish would go well as a dish to pass or as a dish to serve for company.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch rapini (broccoli rabe)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
¾ cup white wine
12 ounces penne pasta
2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Trim thick stems off rapini and coarsely chop.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add rapini, return to a boil, and cook until stems are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and allow to drain completely. Save the pot of water to cook the penne in.

  • Add the penne to the pan with the rapini. Add chicken, reserved cooking water, and chicken bouillon. Continue to cook until penne is tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Divide among serving bowls and serve with remaining cheese.
