This easy-to-make, sophisticated side dish for dinner is sautéed broccoli rabe! It goes great with Italian food, like spaghetti or polenta, in my opinion.

¼teaspoonred pepper flakes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
In a big skillet over medium heat, warm the oil.
After adding the red pepper flakes, toss in the garlic and simmer for another 30 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe and cook it for 3 to 5 minutes, paying careful attention to the stems, while gently tossing and swirling the pan to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the pan, then pour any extra liquid off. Serve as a side dish with a squeeze of lemon and season with salt and pepper to suit.
