PAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI RABE "BAGNA CAUDA"

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Prepare an ice water bath.
• To clean the broccoli rabe, remove the bottom third of the stem, which is fiberous. Remove the larger leaves, leaving the ones which are smaller at the top attached. Blanch the broccoli rabe in the boiling water for about 1 minute until bright green, then transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Remove the broccoli rabe to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and dry well.
• Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless steel frying pan and heat over low heat. Add the chile flakes, anchovies and garlic and saute about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, tossing lightly in the oil to coat, until the broccoli rabe is heated through and tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the Pecorino Romano and serve.

PENNE WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add penne, and cook 2 minutes less than package instructions for al dente; add broccoli. Cook 2 minutes or until penne is al dente and broccoli is bright green. Reserving 1/2 cup pasta water, drain pasta and broccoli; set aside.
• In the same pan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add pasta water as needed to help loosen any browned bits from bottom of pan.
• Add penne and broccoli, and cook until warmed through; season with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta mixture to a serving dish. Top with ricotta; season with salt and pepper.

SICILIAN PASTA AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
• In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
• Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.
• Toss in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stir, and garnish with the parsley.

BROCCOLI BAGNA CàUDA

Steps:

• DO THIS:
• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the middle position.
• 2. In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli and macadamia nut oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange the broccoli in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• 3. Roast the tray of broccoli for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender and toasty, tossing the broccoli and turning the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time.
• 4. In the mean time, make the bagna càuda. Cook the minced anchovies and olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the anchovies melt into the oil, which should take 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes.
• 5. When the broccoli's done roasting, transfer it to a large bowl, and mix it with the garlic-anchovy sauce, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

BAGNA CAUDA

Steps:

• In a small sauté pan, heat olive oil, garlic, lemon and anchovies over a very low flame until mixture just begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Add capers and parsley, stir and simmer a minute longer. Anchovies will break up. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off flame, and serve in pan as a dip for julienned vegetables and cubes of a Tuscan-style loaf or a baguette.
