📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water up to a boil. Season generously with salt, then add the rapini to the boiling water and cook for about ⏱️ 2 minutes, or until tender but still firm, then drain.

While the greens are blanching, fill up a large bowl of ice water. Drain the rapini, then transfer to the ice bath to stop cooking immediately.

Drain the broccoli rabe and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it turns golden and crisp, about ⏱️ 3-4 minutes.
