Traditional Italian broccoli rabe. Anchovy a nice touch. Didn't see the point of the parsley.
Yep. Perfect wish we still had Pierre around to assist
I agree about the parsley as well as the anchovy.
Added fresh parmesano/romano at the end to plate. Also added capers in the hot pan. Excellent.
Very nice and easy. Love broccoli rabe.
Don't even bother blanching the broccoli rabe. Just throw it in the pan with the seasonings. Stir it around a bit, cover and turn off the heat. 3 minutes later, done.
