Ingredients
1
(1-lb) bunch broccoli rabe, hollow stems discarded and leaves and remaining stems cut into 2-inch pieces
5
garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2
to 3/4 tsp dried hot red-pepper flakes (to taste)
Accompaniment: grated parmesan
Directions
1.
Cook pasta according to package instructions. When pasta is 5 minutes from finished, add broccoli rabe to pot and continue to cook until pasta is al dente. Drain in a colander and transfer to a large serving bowl.

Meanwhile, cook remaining ingredients in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until garlic is pale golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over pasta and toss to combine.
