Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli rabe rapini, stems trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves chopped
pinch dried crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup raisins
Salt
2 tablespoons pine nuts toasted

Instructions

Cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 1 minute per bunch. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Strain the cooled broccoli rabe and set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the reserved cooking water, the raisins, and cook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Just before serving, toss the mixture with the pine nuts.
