Fettuccine With Garlic and Broccoli Rabe image

I think this also came from the Joslin Center Cook Book, not sure which one though. Use salt and pepper to taste in this dish and you can't go wrong.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon olive oil
5 large garlic cloves
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
8 ounces fettuccine
2 bunches broccoli rabe
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup parsley
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Thinly slice your garlic, coarsely chop the broccoli rabe (about 2 cups). Parsley should be fresh and chopped.
  • In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine until al dente.
  • While the pasta is cooking, add the broccoli rabe to the simmering broth. Cook, covered for 3 minutes. This cooks fast so be careful not to over cook or your broccoli rabe will end up a messy mush.
  • Drain the pasta and place in a large pasta bowl. Add the lemon zest ad juice, toss. Pour the broth and broccoli rabe over the pasta and toss again. Season with salt and pepper. Add the parmesan sheese, parsley, bread crumbs and red pepper flakes. Toss well and serve at once.
