Boil a large pot of salted water. The best way to cook broccoli rabe is to blanch it and then sauté it. Cut 1/4th of the stems off and then roughly cop the rest. Put the rabe in the boiling water to blanch for 2 minutes. Scoop the broccoli rabe out with a spider and place it in an ice bath. Heat olive oil and minced garlic in a skillet. Strain out large spoonfuls of the rapini from the ice bath and saute them until the water evaporates and each leaf is coated in oil (2-3 minutes). Add a dash of chili pepper flakes in the last minute of cooking.
