My wife and I made this recipe this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. We cut the recipe in half to make it for two. We followed the recipe to the letter. We replaced the pasta with Barillo Plus and the sugar with splenda to increase fiber and cut the calories from sugar. One review said that they could not find Broccoli Rabe and substituted Kale - not the same. Brocoli Rabe can also be found in your produce store as Rapini (also known as broccoli raab. This vegetable has a very unique taste and is a little bitter. My wife and I tried a pasta recipe with brocoli rabe and were not crazy about it because of the bitter taste. I think that blanching the vegetable must have removed some of the bitterness. We will eat this again.

The spaghetti itself was great but the red pepper flakes were way too intense for the dish. I loved the way that it looked when it was finished. The broccoli rabe didn't add anything to the pasta so next time, I would leave it out and focus on adding more cheese at the end to give it more flavor.

Just made this last night for a dinner party and my husband and our guests really enjoyed it. We couldn't find Broccoli Rabe so we used Kale, which turned out fine.

The whole presentation looked beautiful. The noodles were such a cool purple color and the mixed in bright green broccoli rabe added a nice punch. The taste seemed a little off-can't really pinpoint it, though. I am glad I tried this recipe, not sure if I'll make it again. Don't get to see this show much, but I really enjoy watching when I can.
