ingredients

1 bunch broccoli rabe, well rinsed, tough skin peeled, and chopped (keep flowers whole)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pound dry penne pasta

directions

In a large pot or steamer, steam the broccoli rabe until tender, 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain, reserving the cooking water.

Warm the olive oil in a nonreactive large skillet over med.-low heat. Add the garlic and saute until golden, 3 min. Add the broccoli rabe, 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water, the oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, warm a serving bowl in a 200 degrees F oven. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (using as much of the reserved broccoli water as remains). Add the penne and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta.

Remove the bowl from the oven, place the pasta in the bowl, and top with the broccoli mixture. Mix well and serve hot.

    Excellent, quick and easy. Complement with a side salad and some crusty, hot Italian bread, and you have a great filling meal!
