This is my favorite thing I’ve cooked for this project so far!! I originally chose it because we had all of the ingredients besides the broccoli, but I’m glad I did. It was really easy to make and so delicious! It uses broccoli rabe or rapini instead of normal broccoli, which I find much easier to prepare and cook with, so totally okay with me.

It’s from this book:
Lidia’s Family Table by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich
This one is originally Steven’s and I guess is from a PBS cooking show of the same name. Unlike the other Italian cookbooks I’ve found in our bookcase so far, it has a lot more than just recipes. There’s lots of information about techniques, pairing pastas and sauces, stocking the kitchen, and background on different Italian styles. I hope the rest of the recipes are as tasty and easy as this one was!! I will definitely be making it again.
