Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Broccoli Rabe
  • 3 Garlic Cloves sliced
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Chili Peppers or hot pepper flakes, optional
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the salt.
  • Meanwhile, trim the broccoli rabe by cutting off the tough ends at the bottom. Place the broccoli rabe into a large bowl and then add cold water to it. Shake the broccoli rabe around in the water to wash and then place into a colander to drain.
  • Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling pot of salted water. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Drain the broccoli rabe and set it aside on a dish.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chili peppers, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Pour the garlic and oil over top the broccoli rabe.
  • Serve with your favorite main dish and enjoy!
