Pasta with Brocolli Rabe and Gorgonzola
(better than sex!)
  • two bunches of brocolli rabe (three bunches if you have PMS, this is a good cure)
  • an abundance of garlic
  • red pepper flakes, to taste
  • olive oil
  • one can canellini beans, drained and rinsed.(Goya brand is pretty good)
  • a pound of pasta, again, I like orechiette, bow ties, gemelli or anything in that vein
  • about a cup of crumbled gorgonzola
Put pasta water on to boil. Chop brocolli rabe into bite size pieces (I generally discard the bottom inch of stem, if it looks tough). In another large pot or deep skillet, sautee garlic and red pepper. Rinse brocolli rabe and add to skillet, along with a few ladlefuls of water.

Cover and simmer, on medium while pasta cooks. Shortly before serving, add beans and heat them through. When pasta is done and brocolli is tender, combine the two, and toss in the gorgonzola. Add salt and pepper, and pecorino romano cheese to taste. Please do not use the grated cheese in the green can, if you can possibly avoid doing so.
