Really enjoyed this. I went a little light on the oil and used the juice of half a lemon to compensate. It worked really well. The lemon really cuts down the bitterness of the broccoli rabe. I was surprised as I cook with broccoli rabe often and it is often quite over powering.

Absolutely delicious. Saw that there were not any recent reviews and thought I would let everyone know how tender and flavorful this recipe is.

This recipe was delicious...there haven't been any of Aaron's recipes that we haven't liked. We planted broccoli rabe in our garden & this is the first recipe we used for our 1st batch from the garden. Mighty tasty.
