  1. I found this recipe after my husband decided (today)in the grocery store that he wanted to try broccoli rabe. Sure, I said, without a clue how to cook it. This recipe is simple and tasty!
     
  2. Yummy! This recipe is simple & the result is tender and delicious. Now my husband is a fan of this healthy vegetable--he'd always found it to be bitter. This will definitely become a regular side dish at our table.
     
  3. Very good! Be careful to watch the pignoli when toasting (I over-did the first batch). I added some red pepper flake and a bit more black pepper. After tossing all finished ingredients I felt it needed a dash more olive oil.
     
  4. Easy, quick and delicious...my favorite type of recipe! I used a 12 oz. bag of broccoli rabe from Trader Joe's and cooked in the microwave, according to their directions. Then followed RedMeatGirl's directions from step #4. I didn't add salt but did add lots of fresh, coarsely ground pepper, which gave it quite a zip. We loved the nutty addition of pine nuts. Thanks for posting this RMG, it's going to be a regular in our house :)
