INGREDIENTS
1 head broccoli rabe, large
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 clove garlic, large, sliced
1 pinch red pepper flakes, generous
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

PREPARATION
1. Rinse broccoli rabe. Trim off and discard about 1 inch from the base of the stems. Stack and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook until the stems are tender, about 5 minutes; drain in a colander.

3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil with garlic and red pepper flakes until garlic is lightly colored; add the broccoli rabe and stir until heated through and blended with the oil, about 5 minutes.
