The slight bitterness of the broccoli di rape contrasts pleasantly with the sweetness of the garlic. The pasta makes the soup more substantial. Ingredients:
garlic broth |
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3/4 cup (135 g) ditalini or other small pasta shape |
1 medium bunch broccoli di rape, stems cut off, yellow and wilted leaves discarded, and tops and leaves sliced across into 1/2-inch (1-cm) pieces |
fresh lemon juice, to taste |
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving |
coarse salt, to taste, optional |
freshly ground black pepper, to taste, optional |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta and boil for 6 minutes.
2. Stir in the broccoli di rape and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the broccoli di rape is tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice to taste. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
3. Pass grated cheese at the table.
