Orecchiette con le cime di rapa – Orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe
Preparing “Orecchiette” for Apulians is an art. They created this recipe in the Middle Age, so yes… it’s a part of Apulian history!
serves 4
300g fresh orecchiette pasta
300g broccoli rabe
garlic
chili pepper
anchovy fillets
breadcrumbs (optional)
EVO oil
salt to taste
Direction
Immerse the cleaned broccoli rabe in boiling salted water.
After approximately ten minutes, add the orecchiette pasta to the same water and cook together for a further 10 minutes. Drain well.
Separately, in a large frying pan, fry the fresh chopped garlic with the chili pepper, a few anchovy fillets and, if desired, plenty of breadcrumbs. Serve with a drizzle of EVO oil.
Enjoy!

Broccoli rabe is my favorite. If anyone knows where to buy it in Houston, please post.
