Ingredients:
1 bunch of fresh Broccoli Rabe
1 box of your favorite spaghetti
For the Sauce:
2 tomatoes – chopped
6 cloves of garlic – chopped
Dashes of red pepper flakes
2 oz. can of anchovies in oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh Grated Romano cheese
Cut the stems of the broccoli off, about 1 inch.
Place the broccoli in a saucepot of boiling water for about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large frying pan with a few drizzles of olive oil and place the garlic, red pepper flakes and tomatoes in the pan to sauté until the tomatoes are soft and the garlic fragrant. Add the broccoli rabe and continue to sauté for a few more minutes. Add the anchovies and toss. Continue to sauté on low while preparing the spaghetti.
When preparing the spaghetti, add a ½ cup of the water from the spaghetti to the broccoli rabe.
Drain the spaghetti. In a serving plate drizzle olive oil and grate Romano cheese at the bottom of the plate. Add the spaghetti, top with the broccoli rabe. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top and finish with freshly grated Romano cheese.
What a nice Friday night dinner!
Enjoy with Lots and Lots of Love,
Ciao Bella!!

That's basically how I cook - throw stuff in a saute pan and then serve it over pasta. Always start with olive and garlic and then just raid the fridge!
