The reason I love broccoli rabe is that slight bitterness. It’s so addictive, and it makes this terrific leafy, to my mind, more suited to pasta than most other leafy greens. That unique flavor of broccoli rabe, almost by itself, turns this humble pasta dish into something special that makes me cook it over and over again. There are many reasons I love making this vegan Garlic Pasta with Broccoli Rabe. It’s easy, it needs just five ingredients, and it comes together in minutes. Plus my family loves it, and even Jay eats it up fast. Especially when I sprinkle on some capers. But the capers are entirely optional. I sometimes open up a can of white beans to add them to this recipe when I want an extra hit of protein. Be sure to adjust the seasoning if you do this. Happy Monday, all!
