Spicy Broccoli Rabe With Parmesan And Pine Nuts
- 2 pounds broccoli rabe (about 2 bunches) trimmed and sliced into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for blanching
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ounce parmesan, shaved in strips using a peeler (1/2 cup curls)
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
- Add the rabe to the boiling water and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and submerge in bowl of ice water until cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and anchovies, stirring and breaking up the anchovies with a wooden spoon. Cook until garlic is fragrant and light golden in color, 1 minute.
- Add the rabe to the pan with any residual water. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the mixture starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and cook until rabe is crisp tender, about 3 minutes more.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon onto plates or a platter and top with parmesan and pine nuts.
