Brocolli Rabe can be a bit bitter, but try it this way:

First, blanch it in salted boiling water for about 3 minutes. Then shock it (i.e. drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the color).

Next, saute garlic and crushed red pepper in EVOO, just until golden. Then add the blanched rabe to the pan and toss until heated through.

The combination of blanching and adding to oil/garlic takes away the bitterness.

Try it, you’ll like it.
