Kamloops has a great Farmers Market and we've gone every Saturday since we got here, and one Wednesday market too. I bought my very first bunch of Rapini a couple of Saturdays ago for $1.00. The lady next to me was buying 6 bunches and she told me to chop up the rapini and saute in with garlic in some olive oil. That sounded good, and easy, but I've always wanted to try the rapini with pasta.
Here's my bunch of rapini. I trimmed the ends and got rid of a couple of stalks that were yellowing. Then I chopped it up.
I sauteed the rapini with 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 finely chopped hot pepper in some olive oil, then added 1 cup of chicken stock and simmered everything until the sauce was reduced and the rapini was tender.
I added 125 grams of crumbled feta cheese and cooked (obviously) whole wheat rotini. Toss, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Pretty easy, pretty fast, and pretty good for you. I'm sending this to Ruth for Presto Pasta Nights. Check with her on Friday for the weekly round-up.
