Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe

Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Mioorto Oregano: a traditional Italian recipe that gains an even more intense and inviting aroma with the addition of Mioorto Oregano. The bold flavour of broccoli rabe meets the warm, fragrant notes of oregano, creating a simple yet characterful variation.

Ingredients

Fresh orecchiette pasta
Broccoli rabe
Garlic
Anchovy fillets in oil
Dried chilli pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Mioorto Oregano
pack di insalata lattughino

Procedure

Clean and wash the tender leaves and florets of the broccoli rabe, then cook them in salted boiling water. After a few minutes, add the orecchiette to the same pot and cook until al dente.
Meanwhile, prepare a sauté with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and chilli. Add the anchovy fillets and mash them until they melt into the sauce, then add a pinch of oregano for extra flavour.
Drain the pasta and vegetables directly into the pan and toss over high heat, adding a little pasta cooking water if needed. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh oregano.
Tips and combinations
For extra crunch, sprinkle the dish with toasted breadcrumbs flavoured with rosemary. This creates a delicious contrast with the softness of the pasta and the creamy texture of the broccoli rabe.
