Penne with Broccoli Rabe, Tomatoes, and Parmesan
"On my days off from the restaurant, I cook for my wife at home. We tend to eat light, and I cook with foods that are in season since I've never been one for complicated dishes. It's just not my style. I'd rather have sliced tomatoes with a good olive oil or pasta with vegetables than something fussy." Broccoli rabe is also called rapini.
