    Broiling is one of the easiest ways to cook broccoli rabe: The stalks turn bright green and tender and the leaves get nice and crispy. Serve this rich, zesty combo as a warm salad or over pasta for an even heartier dish.

    Ingredients

    • 1 bunch broccoli rabe, rinsed and trimmed
    • 1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained
    • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
    • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
    • Coarse salt
    • 1 cup ricotta, preferably fresh
    • Crushed red-pepper flakes
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

    Directions

    1. Heat broiler. On two baking sheets, toss broccoli, chickpeas, and garlic with oil; season with salt. Broil 2 minutes, then flip broccoli and continue to broil until leaves are crisp and stems tender, about 2 minutes more. Broil one tray at a time if your oven can't accommodate both.

    2. Serve topped with ricotta and red pepper flakes.
      Add lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
