Minestra di pasta e broccoli

Clean and trim the Broccoli rabe, separating florets and tender stems. Discard any tough parts.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the Extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Garlic cloves and Chili flakes, sautéing until the Garlic cloves are fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the Garlic cloves.

Add the trimmed Broccoli rabe to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened, stirring occasionally.
