Ingredients

• ✓ broccoli rabe
• olive oil
• garlic
• anchovy paste
• salt
• red pepper
• olive oil
• pine nut
• lemon

Instructions

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.

Ingredients

• ✓ broccoli rabe

• gluten-free tortiglioni pasta
• olive oil
• anchovy
• garlic
• gluten-free bread crumb
• pecorino siciliano cheese
• red pepper flake

Instructions

1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook tortiglioni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
