Ingredients

2 bunches of fresh broccoli rabe – cleaned with hard stems cut off

8 ounces of feta cheese – crumbled

6 cloves of garlic – crushed and chopped

1 cup - Italian style croutons – crumbled

Red pepper flakes

Olive oil – for drizzling

1 box of your favorite spaghetti

Preparation

In a large pot cover the broccoli rabe with water and bring to a boil for two to three minutes, enough to soften the broccoli rabe.

Remove the broccoli rabe from the water and set aside. In a large frying pan heat the olive oil with the garlic and a few dashes of red pepper flakes. Carefully, add the broccoli rabe to the garlic and oil. Continue to sauté the broccoli rabe in the oil and garlic for a few more minutes and then set aside while preparing the spaghetti.

Add a few drizzles of olive oil to the feta cheese and a few dashes of red pepper flakes and mix.

When the spaghetti is done cooking lift it out of the water with tongs and add to the broccoli rabe. Add the feta and the croutons to spaghetti and broccoli rabe and toss.

Drizzle a little more olive oil and a few more dashes of red pepper flakes.
