Garlicky Rapini Pasta with sun-dried tomatoes
Recipes » Main Dish » Main Dish - Other
Rapini (or brocoli raab) is like the bitter version of brocoli. Some say it’s an acquired taste. I love it. I’ve always loved it.
I will always remember the best pizza I ever ate at Delfina Pizzeria, in San Francisco last summer. It was brocoli raab pizza with olives, mozzarella and hot peppers. Yum. This pasta dish (almost) comes in competition with aforementioned pizza.
"This is delicious. The second time I made it, I used kale instead of rapini, added a few more sun-dried tomatoes than called for, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Delicious both ways! "
