Easy to make vegetable. Make sure you cut the stems off, or else it will be very bitter.

4. Drain the water and put broccoli di rabe to the side.
5. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat for a minute. Saute the garlic for a few more minutes.
6. Add the Broccoli di rabe to the skillet. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Saute with oil and garlic. (You may also add crushed red pepper or ginger, be creative!)
7. Remove from heat and serve.
