Ingredients
- 1 pound cavatelli pasta
- 1 bunch of broccoli rabe, trimmed and chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s shimmering, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
- Add the chopped broccoli rabe to the pot and stir to coat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and bright green. If it starts to stick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Return the drained cavatelli to the pot with the broccoli rabe. Toss everything together, adding more reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce that clings to the pasta.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy your meal with a little extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of cheese on top. This Cavatelli Con Broccoli Rabe is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection!
