PRESSURE COOKER GARLICKY BEANS WITH BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• In the pressure cooker, combine the beans, 7 cups of water, the 4 smashed garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Tie the rosemary, bay leaf, and carrot together with kitchen twine, and then drop the bundle into the pressure cooker. Cover, and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally. If the beans aren't done, cook on high pressure for another 5 minutes, then manually release the pressure.
• While the beans are cooking, heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the sliced garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté until the garlic is just starting to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the garlic oil to a small bowl and reserve for the garnish.
• Return the skillet to the stove, raise the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in the onion and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and stir in the broccoli rabe, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the red pepper flakes, tossing to coat with the oil. Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet, and cook until the water has been absorbed and the broccoli rabe is softened and browned, about 10 minutes (drizzle in more oil as necessary to prevent sticking).
• To serve, remove the herb bundle from the bean pot and then drain the beans, reserving the liquid if you like (use it like stock). Place the beans in a shallow bowl or on a platter. Drizzle the beans with the garlic oil, and top with the broccoli rabe.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, BROCCOLI RABE AND WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil.
• Cut off and discard the lower part of the broccoli rabe stems, leaving the broccoli about 8 inches long. Remove any large tough leaves. If the stems are very thick, you can peel the lower part with a vegetable peeler. Removing the peel takes out some of the bitterness. Cut the stems into roughly 2-inch lengths. Wash the broccoli and set it aside to dry in a salad spinner or colander.
• Remove the casings from the sausage and crumble it. In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage meat and cook until the sausage is no longer pink, about 7 - 10 minutes. When the sausage is brown and just cooked through, remove it with a slotted spoon onto a plate and set aside.
• If there's fat in the pan, pour it out and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic, pepper flakes and beans and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir well and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, according to the package directions.
• In the skillet with the garlic, add the broccoli rabe and toss it until it begins to wilt. Cover the pan and steam the broccoli until wilted and bright green, about 4 minutes. Taste and season lightly with salt and pepper. (if the broccoli is getting too dry and starting to brown, add a few tablespoons of the pasta water).
• When the pasta is ready, drain it, but reserve about a cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the broccoli mixture and add back the sausage and about a 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Stir and toss well over low heat to combine, adjusting the consistency by adding some of the cooking water, a little at a time, as needed.
• Divide the pasta among bowls, top each portion with a sprinkle of cheese and a little drizzle of your best olive oil.
