Method

Bring 4 quarts lightly salted water to a boil.  Cook broccoli rabe about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, let cool to be workable, and press out excess liquid. Chop coarsely.

Heat olive in large skillet over medium heat. Put in garlic and saute until it just begins to color.  Stir in red pepper flakes, and cook over low heat for 2 - 3 minutes. 

Stir in broccoli rabe and saute until heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

If you like to add cheese to this dish (you don't have to - according to taste), sprinkle with

cheese and toss to combine. Season with salt to taste.  If using cheese, remember that cheese is salty.

Serves: 6
