Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe & Chickpeas

The assertive flavors of broccoli rabe and rosemary are paired with sturdy chickpeas in this satisfying pasta dish. When buying broccoli rabe, check to make sure the bottoms of the stems are relatively tight, green and moist. If the broccoli rabe at your store is past its prime—or if you prefer a milder taste—use broccolini or regular broccoli instead. Garnish with a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Very creative use of different ingredients that work & taste sooo good. Irene, Carney, MD — Anonymous	09/01/2009 - 3:25pm
I love reading all the recipes. I'm new to this site and may have overlooked it but I think it would be great to have a section titled: "Recipes for 1" . Maybe others are more controlled than I in their eating but I am one of those folks who cannot make a recipe that serves 4 and not eat it all myself in one sitting. I live alone and have some success with my meals for one and can occasionally get creative with a mixture of frozen entrees as well. I'm not a cook by any stretch of the imagination so it would be nice to see tasty recipes that serve 1. I know, someone will think: "Figure it out for yourself. Just cut the recipe in half or fourths or whatever." Sometimes I do but it often turns me off so I return to mostly bland cooking. Just my .02 — Anonymous	03/03/2010 - 12:25pm
I tried the peanut noodles last night. It's very easy to make and is pretty good. It's very flavorful and I will make this again sometime soon. I have my own website and am always looking for new recipes. Check out my website: http://www.lowcalhq.com/ I have video of cute women making cocktails too — Anonymous	03/30/2010 - 3:45am
