Description
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook fusilli al dente, about 10 minutes.
Drain well, reserving about a cup of cooking water, but do not rinse.
Place about 8 tablespoons oil and garlic in a skillet and turn heat to high.
Saute for 30 seconds. Add chickpeas and saute until they begin to lightly brown,
8-9 minutes. Stir in fresh basil and saute for about 30 seconds to blend the flavors.
Stir in broccoli rabe, wine and reserved pasta cooking water. Cover and cook until
broccoli rabe just wilts, 6-7 minutes. Remove a small amount of liquid, dissolve
miso and stir into broccoli rabe and chickpea mixture. Stir in pasta and mix gently.
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with a fruity extra virgin olive oil and garnish
with fresh basil sprigs. Makes 4-6 servings.

reminds me of fusilli Jerry.
i know he WAS going to make a ravioli george...
oh yeah...macaroni midle! remember that one?
i have seasons 1-7 of Seinfeld. I can't remember if macaroni midler is after or before the fusilli jerry episode.
remember when jerry accidently hits her with his baseball or bat or somthing and she has to go into the hospital and kramer takes care of her.
god i love this show.
thinks i'm elaine.
not sure if it's a compliment or not...i'm so damn sarcastic all the time.
