Dinner Tonight: Orecchiette With Broccoli Rabe And Goat Cheese Recipe
- 1 pound broccoli rabe, chopped
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon crush red chile flakes
- 12 ounces orecchiette
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 4 ounces goat cheese, sliced
- Salt
- Pour about 8 quarts of water into a large pot, add a few tablespoons of salt, and bring it to a boil. Toss in the broccoli rabe and cook for 4 minutes. Remove it with a pair of tongs and immediately toss it in some ice water. Chill for a few minutes then drain and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, bring the pot of water back to a boil and cook the orecchiette according to the directions on the box. Taste the pasta with a minute left on the timer. If al dente, turn off the heat, drain the pasta, and transfer it to the skillet. Turn the heat to high, add the lemon zest, and season with salt. Cook for a minute, stirring constantly.
- Transfer the pasta to bowls or plates. Add a bit of goat cheese to each one. Serve.
