  1. 1 Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, anchovy paste, and salt in the bowl of a small food processor; blend into a paste.
  2. 2 Remove leaves from broccoli rabe and cut off and discard the bottom 1/4 of the stalks. Cut remaining stalks into pieces.
  3. 3 Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook uncovered for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in the ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain. Wrap broccoli rabe in cheesecloth, place in a strainer, and run under water for 10 minutes. Periodically press the rabe to "wring out" any bitter fluids. Pat dry and transfer to a resealable bag. Add anchovy paste and crushed red peppers; marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, toast pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until browned and fragrant but not burned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Add broccoli rabe and cook until fork tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Transfer to a plate, top with pine nuts, and drizzle with lemon juice.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 4-quart rectangular baking dish with nonstick spray. Combine mozzarella and Italian blend cheeses in a bowl and place in the refrigerator.
  2. 2 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  3. 3 At the same time, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and break up into morsels. Sprinkle baking soda onto sausage, then add onion and garlic. Cook and stir, continuing to break up any clumps as it cooks, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour off and discard any grease.
  4. 4 Add pasta sauce, olives, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, anchovy paste, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add up to 3 tablespoons more oil if desired, and continue stirring until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring regularly, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in ziti.
  5. 5 Spread 1/2 of the sauced ziti into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle 1/2 of the shredded cheese mixture evenly on top. Spoon or ladle the rest of the ziti evenly on top without disturbing the layers underneath; it's okay to have some ziti partially exposed as they will brown handsomely and deliciously as they bake. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese mixture on top and sprinkle Parmesan across the surface.
  6. 6 Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
  3. 3 Whisk eggs and water together in a bowl. Mix both bread crumbs and garlic powder together in a second bowl.
  4. 4 Dip chicken tenders in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture, shaking off any excess crumbs. Spray tenders on both sides with cooking spray and place in the air fryer basket.
  5. 5 Air-fry for 4 minutes. Flip tenders and air-fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 more minutes. The breading should be crispy and golden, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  6. 6 While the tenders are cooking, combine white wine, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, garlic, anchovy past, and rosemary for sauce in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces just slightly, about 3 minutes.
  7. 7 Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; add to the sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken slightly. Stir in parsley and reduce heat to low.
  8. 8 Add air-fried chicken tenders to the skillet. Spoon sauce over top to coat, and warm for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
