Shells with Broccoli Rabe & Pancetta
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 25 min
Active: 15 min
Yield: 4 to 5 servings
Ingredients
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe (1 to 2 bunches)
1 pound large pasta shells, such as Barilla
Good olive oil
1/2 pound pancetta, 1/4-inch diced (see Cook’s Note)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 to 10 ounces fresh ricotta, store-bought or homemade
Freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese, for serving
Directions
Bring a large (11 by 5 1/2-inch) pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Remove and discard the bottom third of the broccoli rabe and slice the rest crosswise in 2-inch pieces. When the water boils, cook the broccoli rabe for 2 to 3 minutes, until just tender. With a wire skimmer or tongs, lift the broccoli rabe (don’t drain the pot!) into a large bowl and set aside. Bring the water back to a boil, add the shells, and cook al dente according to the directions on the package. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid, drain the pasta, and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the pancetta, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is browned. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the broccoli rabe and red pepper flakes and toss well. Add the cooked shells, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and toss. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until all the ingredients are heated through, adding enough of the reserved cooking water so the pasta isn’t dry. Serve hot in large shallow bowls with a large dollop of ricotta and drizzled with olive oil, and with grated Parmesan on the side.
Cook’s Note
The only way to truly make 1/4-inch-diced pancetta is to buy one big chunk and cut it yourself. Delis often slice it much too thin.

Ina has gotten much more…talkative…in her more recent videos lol. I don't know if i like it or not. It's just weird and different from the older videos.

Typically done instead with sausage and orecchiette type pasta but this will do just fine.

I respect her much more here. She's being humble not arrogant and telling us what's going on. It's hard having to stop often to google something. You could use spinach and bacon I'm sure.

For it to constitute blanching, don’t you have to shock what you’re cooking in cold or ice water…?

Ina always produces such smart and simple cooking demos. Great none of that “trendy” stupid unnecessary putting the broccoli rabe in a “water bath to stop the cooking process” that we always see!

Pachetta is not smokier than bacon, in fact, it is not smoked at all. I like you Contessa, but come with correct facts.

Love you and all your cooking. I just don’t know why you use so much salt and pepper is better

I have never tried broccoli rabe and have never seen it in any of my local grocery stores.

I thought pancetta was cured, but not smoked.

Great dinner dish, but I miss how miss she and her husband have fun.

Never cook pasta as long as the box says. ALWAYS remove when 2-3 min before aldente’ because you have to sauté them still in skillet….which will continue to cook them. NEVER 👎🏼 want mushy pasta.
@jmason61
December 22, 2023 at 4:06 am
Love these videos.. But I'm thinking a long pasta to twirl on the fork, maybe add some thicker body to the sauce? Either way love the greens

I’m constantly challenged to get enough “greens” into my (3&1/2 year old) grandson’s diet. This looks great.

Ma'am, very nice recipe & looks tasty, I can't get pancetta in my area of Kentucky so I'll use a slab of hickory smoked bacon or pork belly & also add some fresh grated Vermont sharp white cheddar to the other cheeses for more rich flavor & thickness
