Broccoli Rabe And Salami Pasta Recipe

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving a ladleful of the pasta cooking water. Reserve the pot.

While the pasta is working, fill a deep skillet with enough water to reach 2 inches deep. Bring to a boil, salt it and add the broccoli rabe; lower the heat and simmer until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes; drain and set aside.

In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Return the broccoli rabe to the skillet and cook for 1 minute longer.

In the pasta pot, combine the ricotta, parmigiano-reggiano and salami. Stir in the reserved pasta cooking liquid, broccoli rabe and pasta and toss to coat. Season with black pepper.
