BROCCOLI WITH ORECCHIETTE

Steps:

• With food processor running, drop in garlic and finely chop.
• Cook garlic in oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 1 minute. Add broccoli, water, red-pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is very tender and almost all of liquid has evaporated, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted.
• Meanwhile, cook orecchiette in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoon salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta.
• Toss pasta with broccoli and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water. Season with salt and thin sauce with more cooking water if desired. Serve with cheese for sprinkling.

ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI AND PECORINO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Spread out the broccoli florets on a rimmed baking sheet and toss them with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the salt. Transfer to the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Meanwhile, add the orecchiette to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water for the sauce.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the anchovy paste and the garlic to the hot pan. Cook, mashing up the anchovy paste with a wooden spoon, until the anchovy has dissolved into the oil and the garlic has become softened and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta, the roasted broccoli, and the parsley, red pepper flakes, pecorino, lemon zest, raisins and pine nuts to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Add pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.

ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• In large pot, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut broccoli rabe flowers and leaves away from large central stems. Chop flowers, leaves and smaller stems coarsely, and discard large stems.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped garlic. Once it starts to sizzle, increase the heat to high, and stir in the broccoli rabe. Stir until the greens have completely wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Add pasta to boiling water, and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, and return it to pot. Pour cooked greens, remaining olive oil and cheese over pasta, and toss quickly. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately. Pass extra grated Parmesan cheese at the table.

SPICY ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
• While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli and 1/2 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until broccoli begins to soften, about 8 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until water has evaporated and broccoli is crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• To pasta in pot, add broccoli mixture, Parmesan (reserving some for later), and enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. Serve sprinkled with remaining Parmesan.

ROASTED GARLIC AND SAUSAGE ORECCHIETTE

Steps:

• For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Stack three 12-by-12-inch sheets of foil on top of each other. Place the garlic cloves on the foil and pull up the sides to create a bowl. Pour in the oil and sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pull up the sides to create a pouch and seal it so the oil doesn't leak out. Place in the oven and roast for 12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and smash the garlic with a fork into a smooth paste. Set aside.
• For the pasta: Fill a large saucepan with 3 quarts (12 cups) of water and add 2 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then add the orecchiette and cook according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the olive oil, sausage, red pepper flakes and 2 1/4 teaspoons salt, and cook, breaking up the sausage, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe, the cooking water and roasted garlic puree to the pan and stir vigorously.
• Stir in the cooked orecchiette. Stir in the Parmesan and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the Parmesan melts, about 1 minute. Divide between plates and enjoy.

BROCCOLI WITH ORECCHIETTE

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; saute until golden, stirring to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli and reserved cooking liquid; cook, stirring, until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, and season with pepper. Remove from heat.
