Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the ingredients; cook the fusilli
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the fusilli.
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
- Trim the root ends from the broccoli rabe; cut the broccoli rabe into 1-inch lengths.
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
- Crumble or coarsely chop the ricotta salata.
To the pot of boiling water, stir in the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fusilli. Return the fusilli to the pot; toss with about 1 teaspoon oil to keep the noodles from sticking. While the fusilli is cooking, make the sauce.
2
Cook the sauce; finish the pasta
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, broccoli rabe, almonds, and sun-dried tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and sweet pea pistou and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fusilli and toss to coat.
Serve
Transfer the fusilli and sauce to individual bowls. Sprinkle with the ricotta salata and as much Aleppo chile as you like and serve.
