Pasta with Broccoli Rabe

The Broccoli Rabe was on sale and since I’ve been hitting the doughnuts pretty hard, figured it was time to add more greens into the diet.

- Half 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes.
- Boil 1 pound whole wheat pasta for 6-8 minutes in salted, boiling water. Remove when still al dente.
- Blanche greens for about 1 min in boiling water. Shock in cold water, drain, set aside.
- In frying pan sauté 2 cloves garlic and ½ white onion in about ¼ cup olive oil until translucent. Add 1 cup chicken or veggie stock to pan. Let cook about 1 minute until stock is heated. Then add pasta, 1 tsp butter and salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss in broccoli rabe and cook for another minute or two.
- Turn off heat, add tomatoes and about ¼ cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese.
