Ingredients
- 180 grams of penne
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 small bunches of broccoli rabe, stems removed
- 8 artichokes, jarred
- 2 thin slices of prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan, and extra for serving
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
-
Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook for 2 minutes. Immediately strain, and transfer to a bowl of water with ice to stop the cooking process. In the meantime, thinly slice the garlic. Add a good drizzle of olive oil to a pan, add the garlic in a single layer and place the pan on medium heat. Cook the garlic on one side for 2 minutes and then flip them and cook for another minute. Add the broccoli rabe and saute for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Coarsely chop the artichokes and add them to the pan. Cut the prosciutto into bite-size pieces and add to the pan. Make sure that the prosciutto has direct contact with the bottom of the pan, and don’t move it for a couple minutes so it has a chance to crisp up.
-
Strain the pasta adding a couple teaspoons of the cooking water to the pan. Add the pasta gently, and mix the ingredients so they meld in nicely. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the Parmesan and stir. Transfer to a bowl and serve with an extra drizzle of olive oil and some Parmesan cheese.
