Broccoli Rabe And Cannellini Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Place the broccoli rabe in a 14-by-9-by-2-inch oval dish, and toss with 4 tablespoons of the olive oil. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 8 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Let cool to room temperature. Place in a bowl and gently stir in the remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan heat the 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until just beginning to caramelize around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the cannellini beans, chicken broth, crushed red pepper and basil and cook at a simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the beans are just beginning to break apart, about 15 minutes. The sauce should be brothy. Remove from the heat and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. When ready to serve, transfer the warm pasta to a large bowl. Add half of the sauce and toss to combine. Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, with more sauce ladled over the top. Sprinkle each serving with some of the crispy pancetta and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, to taste. Pass the cheese at the table for guests to add at their own discretion.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in middle and lower thirds. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet and add chicken, skin side up. Bake on middle rack until chicken is cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
• After 25 minutes, toss broccoli rabe and garlic with 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Place vegetables on bottom rack and bake 15 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, and almonds to sheet with broccoli rabe and bake until broccoli rabe is tender when pierced with a knife, 5 to 10 minutes. To serve, divide chicken and vegetables among 4 plates and drizzle with lemon juice.
