- Comments: For a change of pace (or possibly for the gluten-sensitive) try using quinoa or possibly spelt spirals in this rich pasta dish. Blanching the broccoli rabe before sauteing cuts the bitter edge.
- Buy a crusty loaf of bread and cut it into thin crostini. Spread it with olive tapenade. Have a scoop of lemon sorbet for dessert.
