Fettuccini with Broccoli Rabe
There are times when you just can't say no to pasta. This dish is faily easy to prepare. Broccoli Rabe was in a prominent spot in the produce section the other day and that goes very nicely with pasta. I whipped up an Alfredo sauce and added in sun-dried tomatoes (still on the sun-dried tomato kick). You might consider this a dinner entree but when I eat pasta I prefer to have it for lunch and then eat something really lite like a spinach salad for dinner. Then of course take a nice stroll, not that I did, but I was definitely thinking about it! Ingredients
- Serves 4
- 8 ounces fettuccine
- 3 cloves garlic minced (optional)
- 1 small onion diced
- olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained
- bunch broccoli rabe
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Begin by boiling salted water for the pasta.
- In a large skillet add the oil and saute the onion until soft then add the garlic and continue cooking until garlic starts to brown.
- Stir in the wine and let cook down about half the volume.
- Now add the cream and let simmer to cook down and thicken.
- Meanwhile put another pot of water on to boil for the broccoli. Wash the broccoli and trim the stems, I use the leaves and all, it has a slightly bitter taste but when mixed with the cream and sun-dried tomatoes it has a sweeter flavor.
- Toss the broccoli in and cook for 3 minutes, drain well, chop and set aside.
- When the pasta has cooked and drained add it to the Alfredo sauce and mix well.
- Add the broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes, stir gently.
- Add the Parmesan cheese.
- Serve.
