Linguine with Broccoli Rabe & Peppers
Broccoli rabe is one of my favorite veggies. Since it cooks right with the pasta, you can multitask. Before you know it, dinner is served. —Gilda Lester, Millsboro, Delaware

I made this recipe today using angel hair pasta and a 16 oz. bag of frozen chopped spinach with spinach shaped in cubes. I didn't have broccoli rabe on hand. I also used more anchovy, maybe 9 fillets. The remaining ingredients were the same as stated in the recipe. It was delicious! I will definitely make this again. My husband and grown sons loved it.
What is broccoli rabe? I have never heard of it our seen it in stores in my area
Great recipe that can be easily adapted.. No anchovies for me.. but if you are not a fan of broccoli rabe.. you could sub spinach.. or kale.. I think it would meld nicely.. but you will not taste broccoli in rabe.. it is slightly bitter and not related to broccoli..
What you suggest I use in place of broccoli, my very least favorite veggie?
Made this for dinner with my parents. They loved it.
