Yield 4 Main Course Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 lbs broccoli rabe, thick stems discarded
1 lb spaghetti
1 bottle red wine (preferably Zinfandel)
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • Cut broccoli rabe into 1 inch wide florets. Blanch in a 6-8 quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, 2 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to a large collander to drain, reserving broccoli cooking liquid in pot, then transfer broccoli to a bowl. Return cooking liquid to a boil and cook spaghetti, stirring occasionlly, 5 minutes (pasta will not be fully cooked). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain pasta in colander and return empty pot to stovetop. Add wine and sugar to pot and boil vigorously for 2 minutes until liquid is reduced a bit. Add spaghetti and shake pot to prevent pasta from sticking. Gently stir with tongs until coated and boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 6 minutes. Immediately after adding spaghetti to wine mixture, cook garlic and red pepper flakes in the oilve oil in a large, deep skillet over moderately low heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until garlic is pale golden, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Pour broccoli into skillet with the spaghetti mixture and carefully toss with tongs to combine. Cook while stirring, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, season with freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Stir in grated cheese. Serve immediately.
