Ingredients

300g dried whole wheat penne pasta

1 bunch of rapini or broccoli rabe, coarse stems discarded and remainder cut into 1 inch pieces

1 cup breadcrumbs (either panko or coarsley crumbled bread(I used a stale croissant, which was perfect))

1/4 cup olive oil + 1 tbsp if not using the croissant

5 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

1 tin anchovies, drained and chopped

1/2 tsp dried chili flakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 and spread out breadcrumbs on parchment lined baking sheet

Heat a large pasta full of salted water to boiling, cook pasta 6minutes. Add rapini and stir. Continue to boil until pasta is al dente about 7 more minutes.

While pasta is cooking, toss panko or bread crumb with 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow baking pan until coated and bake, stirring once or twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. (or if using croissant omit oil and bake only about 5 min) Season crumbs with salt.

While rapini (with pasta) is cooking, cook garlic, anchovies, and red-pepper flakes in 1/4 cup olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring and mashing anchovies into oil with a wooden spoon, until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Drain pasta and rapini in a colander, then add to anchovy mixture in skillet, tossing to combine.

Serve pasta sprinkled with some toasted breadcrumbs and pass remainder.
