Pasta with Rapini

A lot of the time, the most tasty dishes are simple and uncomplicated. I recently saw a cooking/travel show that featured regional Italian cooking and I was inspired to cook up this pasta dish.

I used some delightful handmade orecchiette ("ears") imported from Italy. The sauce just hugged the pasta and the flavours of the garlic, anchovy and hot pepper flakes were a hearty backdrop for the slightly bitter rapini. Instead of rapini you could use broccoli, and in the spring, arugula would be great!

Buon appetito!
