Italian Broccoli Rabe

I grew up eating Broccoli Rabe, and it is one of my favorite things to eat. I've made it a lot on my own throughout the years. However, it was not until recently that I finally perfected it in a way that reminds me of how it tasted when my mom or grandma made it. I am so excited to share this easy and delicious recipe with you.

Add one bunch of Broccoli Rabe to the pan and let it cook down for a few minutes

Let broth slowly cook down, tossing every couple minutes
