Penne with Broccoli Rabe

Wash broccoli rabe, if using; remove and discard woody stems. Coarsely chop leafy greens; set aside.

In a large saucepan cook pasta in a large amount of boiling water for 8 minutes. Add broccoli rabe or broccoli florets. Cook about 3 minutes more or just until pasta is tender; drain well. Return mixture to hot saucepan; cover and keep warm.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan cook onion, bacon and garlic over medium heat about 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Add tomatoes, wine and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.

Add tomato mixture to pasta mixture; toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with cheese.
