Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and pat dry. Bring another large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the penne and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, tossing frequently, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe, the water and the red pepper flakes and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Drain the pasta and add the broccoli rabe mixture, the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.
