Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

Cut off and discard any tough stems from the rabe. The stems may be peeled and used if desired. Wash and drain well.
Bring enough salted water to a boil to cover the rabe when added. Add the rabe and cook 1 minute. Drain well. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and add the garlic. Cook briefly but do not brown. Add the rabe, pepper flakes, anchovy paste, salt, pepper and reserved cooking liquid. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
