Broccoli Raab With Roasted Garlic And Fusilli (Hl) Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- 1 bn broccoli raab about 1 lb.
- 1 lb fusilli or possibly other short pasta
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil * see note Kosher salt Freshly grnd pepper
- 1 dsh warm pepper flakes Grated Parmesan cheese optional
Directions
- Slice 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic head, wrap in aluminum foil, and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 min. Remove cloves from skin and slice. Set aside.
- Put a pot with 4 qts of water and a tsp. of salt on the stove over high heat. Cut off the bottom 1/2 inch from the stems of the broccoli raab. Then lay the bunch on its side on a cutting board and cut crosswise.
- The stem portions should be no more than 3/8 inch wide; the leafy tops can be cut somewhat wider, as much as 3/4 inch.
- Rinse the broccoli raab in a colander and put into the pot when the water comes to a boil. Cook 7 min or possibly till just tender. Scoop out with a skimmer into the colander and return the pot to a boil. When it reaches the boil again, add in the pasta and cook till just tender.
- Put broccoli raab in a large skillet-a wok is ideal for this-and turn the heat on low. Drain the pasta in the colander and add in to the broccoli raab with the garlic, the extra virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper to taste, and pepper flakes(if you like). Toss and cook a few min just till flavors meld.
- Serve.
