I harvested the Broccoli Raab this morning before work. Apparently you can eat the heads, the leaves and the flowers. I decided to use it to make a simple pasta dish. I sauteed onion, garlic, mushrooms and crushed red pepper in olive oil then added the green stuff. I dumped it over some cooked Penne pasta. It tastes pretty darn good!
The problem is that the Rapini shrinks a lot and I really needed about 4 times as much as I had.

YUM! Yes, please! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds even better than my simple garlic/olive oil saute. What kind of mushrooms did you use?
Looks yummy!!!! I wanna some pasta!!! I also saw your other blog which lead me to this one. Way to go!!
ReplyDeletekim - i don't know my mushrooms very well but they looked like those baby portabello ones?
ReplyDeletejonna - thanks for visiting my blog!
My family loves rapini (we're italian). Now I'll have to start growing it -- your veggie gardening has really developed since last year, it's so impressive. I wish I had more time!
ReplyDeleteThat's some fine looking pasta! Isn't it fun to cook with stuff you've just brought in from the garden? I have to start harvesting my Spinach in a Pot if the rain ever lets up.
ReplyDeleteI can see you are already hooked on vegetable gardening! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great in the bowl and also in your dish.
