Pasta with Roasted Broccoli Rabe (aka Rapini) and Lentils
- Dried Pasta - 1/2 pound
- Broccoli Rabe - 1 bunch
- Large Garlic Cloves (sliced) - 3
- Cooked Lentils - 1 cup
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 4 table spoons
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp
- Sea Salt
- Parmesan Cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large pot of water to make your pasta. When water comes to a boil, add 2 Tbsp salt plus the pasta. Stir and cook until al dente. Meanwhile, wash your broccoli rabe and chop off the ends (about a 1/2 inch). Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil on a large baking sheet and then lay the broccoli rabe and sliced garlic on top. Drizzle another tablespoon of oliveoil on top along with a sprinkling of kosher or sea salt and then toss to make sure the oil evenly coats the rapini. Place the baking dish in the oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the broccoli rabe is tender. Don’t worry if the edges of some leaves seem to become dry and crackly; they’ll taste great. Take the rapini out of the oven and set aside. In a medium pan, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil and stir in the cooked lentils. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add about a 1/4 cup of pasta water as well as more olive oil if you’d like. Cook until warm and then turn off the heat. Once the broccoli rabe has cooled a bit, chop it into 1-inch pieces. When pasta is ready, mix it into the lentils along with the broccoli rabe and cooked garlic. Place in serving dishes and top with grated cheese.
