Recipe - Broccoli Raab With Roasted Garlic And Fusilli (Hl)

1 Head garlic
1 bn Broccoli raab; about 1 pound
1 pound Fusilli or other short pasta
3 tablespoon Extravirgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 ds Hot pepper flakes
Grated parmesan cheese

Slice One fourth inch off the top of the garlic head, wrap in aluminium foil, and
bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Remove cloves from skin and
slice. Set aside.

Put a pot with 4 quarts of water and a teaspoon of salt on the stove over
high heat. Cut off the bottom One half inch from the stems of the broccoli raab.
Then lay the bunch on its side on a cutting board and cut crosswise. The
stem portions should be no more than 3/8 inch wide; the leafy tops can be
cut somewhat wider, as much as Three fourths inch.

Rinse the broccoli raab in a colander and put into the pot when the water
comes to a boil. Cook 7 minutes or until just tender. Scoop out with a
skimmer into the colander and return the pot to a boil. When it reaches the
boil again, add the pasta and cook until just tender.

Put broccoli raab in a large skilleta wok is ideal for thisand turn the
heat on low. Drain the pasta in the colander and add to the broccoli raab
with the garlic, half the olive oil, salt and black pepper to taste, and
pepper flakes(if desired). Toss and cook a few minutes just until flavors
meld. Add remaining olive oil and serve with Parmesan cheese.
