..::Broccoli Rob and Pasta for Four::..
*From the Kitchen of Cyndi Lauper
*Recipe from: A Musical Feast
*Main Dish
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves
2 good-size bunches fresh broccoli rob (rabe)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds of your favorite brand of imported Italian pasta (or pasta from the box)...Keep in mind that the pasta you buy shouldn't be too big. The broccoli rob will get lost. Something like orchietta or penne is best.
anchovy paste, just a drop (optional)
Now, you'll need a BIG pot, a medium-size pot, a cutting board, knife for chopping, a garlic press, a colander...oh and some salt and a large spoon. Fill the BIG pot with some cold water and a touch of salt. Put it on the back burner over medium heat(it will eventually boil...pretty great huh?) OK, leave that and wash the broccoli rob using the colander. When you are finished, cut the ends off the broccoli rob, about 3 inches and throw away. Cut the rest into 1 1/2 pieces. Try to use most of the leaves and try not to mess with the buds.
Peel 2 to 3 garlic cloves. Put 2 tablespoon olive oil in the medium-size pot and cook on medium heat. When the oil gets hot, press the garlic through the garlic press, let that fall into the pot, (the garlic, not the press). It will sizzle. Reduce the heat to low and add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Now, add the broccoli rob. Stir gently with your spoon, cover and cook slowly on low heat.
How's that pasta water coming? It should be boiling like crazy. Here comes the big moment. Drop the pasta in to the water (without the cardboard box). Add a little olive oil so that the pasta won't stick together. Set the timer for 8 to 10 minutes. ( I like it Al Dente side, Less is more, Get it?)
Hey! Keep checking the broccoli rob! It should turn a nice dark color. Don't let it turn light green. That's cooked too much. Maybe you should taste it and see how it is doing. Add a pinch of salt. Taste again. Here's where you might add the anchovy paste, just a drop. Don't make it too salty. Taste it again. If it's done, remove it from the heat till the pasta is ready...OK? Now take a cup of water out of the pasta pot and set it aside.
When the timer rings, or when the pasta is the texture you like it, drain and add to the broccoli rob. Toss gently. Remember that cup of pasta water? Add about 1/2 cup, a little at a time, to the broccoli rob. Don't make it too watery. If it's too dry, add a little more water but taste it as you go. Toss gently and serve with a tiny plate of crushed red pepper and a little extra olive oil on the side. This dish goes great with a salad. Enjoy!
