Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Broccoli Rabe


I haven't been cooking much this week, friends, what with the sinus and ear infections and bronchitis... But here's an easy meal full of health. Maybe posting it will cure my ills?

about a pound of spaghetti
one bunch broccoli rabe
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt + pepper to taste
grated parmesan cheese for garnish

Boil the broccoli rabe for 3-5 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Put the pasta on to boil and, meanwhile, saute the garlic in the olive oil for about one minute, then add the broccoli rabe and continue cooking for a couple more minutes.

Top the cooked pasta with the broccoli rabe, season to taste, and garnish with grated parmesan. If the pasta is a bit dry, add a tablespoon or two more of the olive oil.
