Arete

Serves 4-6; I should have halved the recipe for 2 people, oh well.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 4 peeled, minced garlic cloves
• 2 dried red crushed chili peppers
• 6 anchovies (or just 1/3 or 1/2 tube of anchovy paste)
• Salt
• 1 lb. orecchiete (“little ears”, but any pasta similarly shaped will do)
• 2 bunches of broccoli rabe (leaves and tender stems coarsely chopped)

Directions:  Cook oil,  garlic, red chili peppers over low heat briefly. Add anchovies (or paste) and stir till they dissolve.  Bring water to boil. Add salt and pasta.  When water returns to boil, add the broccoli raab. When the pasta’s done, drain and mix all ingredients thoroughly. Super easy and delicious!
