Easy Broccoli Rabe Recipe

We share an easy broccoli rabe recipe in this 4k video. People are asking me all the time how to make broccoli rabe and how to cook Italian food. I always try to illustrate how easy it is in my videos. Let us know in the comment if this is how to cook broccoli rabe and if you think it’s an easy broccoli rabe recipe! In case you're wondering, alternate correct names for broccoli rabe are "Bitter Broccoli", and "Broccoli Rapini" !

[@bobbib2713]

Since I can't find broccoli rabe where I live I figured I'd enjoy watching you cook my favorite italian vegetable! I can smell the garlic.....mmmmm thanks!!

[@VincentCarneglia]

Bobbi Bellardine thanks for watching! Where do you live?

[@bobbib2713]

Vincent Carneglia I live in SC, originally from 10th and Moore.

[@VincentCarneglia]

Bobbi Bellardine it’s nice to meet you! My great aunt Caroline has lived at 10th and Moore for as long as I’ve been alive! We’ve definitely bumped in to each other at some point neighbor!!

[@bobbib2713]

Vincent Carneglia probably, I still have family there. I went to school St. Nick’s.

[@ld5480]

Wow 😳 this is the easiest way I’ve ever seen this recipe I looooove broccoli rabe and sausages they taught me to Blanche first it to make it less bitter but since you said it doesn’t matter if you do not Blanche I’m going to try it tonight thank you so very much for your honesty about this recipe since I’m not Italian I will listen to the Italian chef ( Do not blanche) 👍👍👍👍

[@roxannd8536]

Thank you for sharing. I'm black, from the Caribbean, and my boyfriend is American Italian, and boy, does he love garlic. I love your way of cooking broccoli rabe because you don't boil it then pour all the great nutrients down the drain. I'm cooking 2 huge bunches for him tight now. They are super loaded with garlic and exotic hot peppers.

[@VincentCarneglia]

Roxann D that sounds delicious!!

[@cyndithomas3379]

I never thought about cooking stems first. Thanks!!🙂

[@samjg1]

So glad to see you using all of the broccoli rabe and sauteeing it. So many others on YT cut off the whole stem and throw it away, then they boil it. Your way is the way I grew up with. Sautéed with plenty of garlic.

[@frhythms]

Just bought my first bunch of broccoli rabe and wasn't sure what to do with it... thanks, Vincent !

[@catherinethompson1223]

Just cooked Rapini for the first time. Thank goodness I watched your video first. I will be adding it to my table again.

[@DELAWAREBOWHUNTER]

Glad to see you use Andy Boy broccoli rabe! Only brand to eat!

[@nykole720]

Great video thank you! Also, I loled when you poured your olive oil into your pot with that giant box lol

[@Fluffy-Fluffy]

Same lol

[@ninab2093]

Many years ago, I made a Julia Child recipe with broccoli rabe, sausage and orchietta pasta. And you’re right: people overthink the rapini! Thank you for presenting it in a not-so-intimidating way! My husband brought some home today, and thanks to you, he will have that for dinner tonight!

[@ladybug7967]

Love your recipe. I love broccoli rabe but never had a good time preparing it. You made it so easy and will now eat more broccoli rabe. I want to go to Philly now and get those sausages!

[@cooktoria]

Vince, I showed this video to my husband and he says he is not impressed unless you show us how to cook it using Ryobi tools. :-) I did find this recipe to be the best way to cook broccoli rabe.

[@VincentCarneglia]

🤣 thanks

[@ld5480]

I’m not even close to being Italian but I looooooove Italian dishes so I’ve learned to make them but this broccoli rabe recipe is the easiest I’ve ever seen someone taught me to blanche it first but your recipe is the bomb and took less time 😱 I’m soooo hungry for some now 😂😂I can eat this 7 days of the week thank you you’re a great chef btw this is my first time watching your channel and definitely not my last I like your simplicity and honesty 💕💕❤️❤️

Thank you!

Well made and expressing the simplicity of the products

[@poochieman789]

Vincent, you are awesome man , especially with separating the stem from the leaves & flowers. Just the right way to go ...

[@VeryMerryLou]

I got 2 from Wal-mart and I don't know how to cook it, hence watching this video. Thanks for sharing. I can smell and taste the rapini through my screen 😁

[@sammysworld5485]

I love eating this veggie but never tried cooking it myself. Came upon this vid & enjoyed it very much. I’m gonna follow this recipe bcz it seemed simple enough. I don’t enjoy complicated cooking either. TY!

[@geovannigarreck9814]

That's what I'm talking about lol..looks great!

[@dianesizer8055]

Hey Vincent. My daughters and I loved watching your video. We're making broccoli rabe tonight for Father's Day! We knew you were a hometown Philly boy as soon as we starting watching. We recognized many things in your kitchen that we had also. Can't wait to try your broccoli rabe! We'll let you know how it turns out. I want to try that sausage place you talked about too!

[@duncansutherland47]

I like your method of dividing the broccoli rabe for cooking time, thank you.

Broccoli Rabe looks awesome Gonna make just like that 👍

Glad you find the info useful and thanks for watching!!

[@darlenerothenay6251]

Great idea about cooking the stems first. Love broccoli raab!

[@DebbieCoiro]

Vincent, Thank you for your video- I watched it 3 times to get the best outcome. Today,I am cooking broccoli rabe for the first time and will follow your recipe. Funny, in the grocery store I did hear all of the things that people do when cooking broccoli rabe and found your approach to be the best one for us. - Very similar to how I make escarole and beans.

[@adeletroiano9304]

Can taste it ❤

[@donnajustbeingreal6607]

I just bought Broccoli Rabe yesterday. I lucked up on your video how to cook it. I'm going to do it your style. Thanks for recipe! Have a Great Day!!

[@sammiller9847]

Vincent--You bring back many cool memories for me of my cousins (12 of them) from South Jersey. Even though my family lived in New York, visiting them was our "vacation" in the summer and they had the BEST tomatoes on earth. Thanks for your charming and funny and very Italian, way of speaking and thinking. The only thing i didn't hear was the way they pronounced the word "Acme" as in "Ach-a -me" Superrmarket! All the best to you!

[@doowopcharlie]

like the Andy boy today i'm giving your recipe a try pretty sure i'm going to like it (here I Go) OKEY all done came out great I like cutting the stems shorter small peace 2 rolls later thanks

Awesome recipie. Greetings from Hicks & Ritner

[@patfeeney-lynch4988]

I cooked fresh broccoli rabe for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I basically did what you have shown here but mine was bitter. I’m going to try cutting the stem & separate it from the leaves & flowers to cook first and try it again. Thanks for the info!

[@mouseroad]

I almost bought this at the supermarket but I didn't know how to prepare it. Thanks for the recipe - I'm going to try this.

[@VincentCarneglia]

[@larrymags2045]

I was born and raised in Brooklyn too...we called it saw-seege

[@TheBoardWoodworker]

That looks great I think I will be doing this recipe also but I think I will cook my sausage first and use the oil from the sausage to salute the rabe. Love that you cook the stems first great video. Keep cooking vince

[@VincentCarneglia]

Thats a great idea Edge! Thanks for watching, we will!!

So easy is right not too many steps I’m going to make it this next time I have broccoli rabe

[@VincentCarneglia]

I know you’ll make it awesome!!

[@predickament]

Just the way I cook it (I’m Welsh) - I’m the only one in my family who loves broccoli rabe - I can’t always come across a decent sausage - but I often get fennel seed and grind it up and add it to compensate, it’s also tasty in marinara sauce

[@karenkerr4360]

‘Rabes’ and sausages. Yum!!

[@denisewiggins5172]

😋😋😋

[@mikefas5406]

Good video. Really got a kick out of the way you say sausage too...😂 "Soss-age" Here in jersey we saw "Saws-age"

[@nathanpotter8569]

Great.... why did I have to watch this... at 3 am. I have PLENTY of garlic...but don't have the broccoli... and no stores are 24/7 anymore. When you said homemade sausage... I thought that you made it yourself.... lol.. So ... I'm hungry now ... but thanks for a recipe to use some of my nearly 40 cloves of garlic... October is coming soon and the next batch will be planted for next year.

[@rndst6]

I meant to say 17th and Ritner! HILARIOUS 🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪

[@lidiajimenez3070]

Thank you for sharing your recipe! To bad I can’t buy the sausages in California

[@VincentCarneglia]

No good butcher shops in California, tell me it isn’t so Lidia!

[@Babu-kr3cr]

I like how you made it. That way it stays bitter and crispy. If you put the lid on, the bitterness gets steamed out, and it is mushy. You did it the right way cooking the thicker parts first. Then you don't waste it, and it is more intersting. It usually isn't cheap to buy it. I added a little wine vinegar to mine, and it came out less bitter also. I like it better the way you did it though.

[@MultiMakeupaddict]

I made this, think I put too much olive oil but it came out really delish!

[@nonnamacdeah1950]

Loooove Rapini annnnd this video. I'm so happy I came upon it. You did a great job of this. It kept my attention and your delivery, heart warming. I have to tell you though, I do quickly soft boil my rapini (stalks first) before I saute it, only because, I loooove the broth that is rendered so I can dip true bruschetta in it's broth. Rapini is not easily found where I live in Atlantic Canada!! Today, I just happened to go to a grocery store, I rarely go to, glanced around while in the produce section and BOOM …. there was Rapini … $4.99 a bunch. I bought them all!!! $35.00 later, I was a happy Nonna. hahahahhaaa. I called the store when I got home and they have 4 bunches in the cooler that I will pick up and their next order comes in next week. I'm on it! I definitely have to research how to grow rapini in the Maritime climate. Thank you so much for your wonderful video! It truly brightened my day! All the best to you and yours always from the east coast of Canada.

[@VincentCarneglia]

Nonna MacDeah I really appreciate this thoughtful comment!! How did the rapini turn out for you? Dipping with bread is one of my favorite parts!!

[@nonnamacdeah1950]

@@VincentCarneglia it turned out perfectly. After indulging, I ended up with 4 bags to freeze. I also had it mixed in with orrichetti! ❤🖒❤

[@kennethmoore427]

I’m going to try it this way. Everyone loves the way I cook mine but it takes me hours. I separate the flowers, cut the stringy parts off the stems, and boil
