Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Salt generously — the water should taste pleasantly salty. Add the broccoli rabe and cook for 2 minutes, until the stems are just tender and the leaves are wilted and bright green. Use tongs to transfer the broccoli rabe to a colander; do not drain the pot.

Return the pot to a boil, add the orecchiette, and cook according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center, typically 10–12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining. Drain the pasta.
