Rapini Recipe - Heghineh Cooking Show

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Trim the ends of the rapini and wash thoroughly under cold water.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the rapini to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green.

Drain the rapini and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the blanched rapini to the skillet, tossing to coat in the oil and garlic.

Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender and heated through.

Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.

Serve warm, garnished with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
