Pasta Broccoli Rabe

Pasta Broccoli Rabe

Broccoli rabe has a unique flavour that is highlighted beautifully next to a silky pasta. Adding the salty olives and punchy garlic brings it all together for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Method

  • 1 packet good-quality linguine
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup green peas
  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe
  • ⅓ cup basil pesto
  • ½–¾ cup olives
  • 2 tbsp garlic (I’ve used roasted but you could use fresh, just reduce to 1 tbsp & roughly chop)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  1. Cook linguine according to packet instructions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large frying pan over medium–high heat.
  3. Add peas and broccoli rabe and sauté for 2-3 mins.
  4. Add pesto, olives and garlic and cook for 1 min.
  5. Taste and add salt as desired.
