Italy, Recipe: Pasta with Broccoli Rapini

Take the stems off the broccoli rapini and boil for 8-10 minutes till soft.   Put your favorite pasta into boiling water.  Saute some garlic in good olive oil, drain the broccoli rapini, put in the oil / garlic, saute on low till the pasta is done or about 8 minutes.  Drain pasta, put into the broccoli rapini & oil, add some of the pasta cooking water, mix well.  Dress with grated pecorino cheese, maybe some red pepper flakes if you like them.

Spectacular with Vernaccia, Falanghina, Greco di Tufo
