My boyfriend is gluten-free so I made this with rice noodles. It was absolutely delicious. Thanks, Mario!

I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe myself, because of the bitterness, but I made this for my family, who love broccoli rabe, and they enjoyed it immensely. I've since made it quite a few times. It's incredibly easy and fast to make.
