Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and PancettaOrecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Pancetta is a great Italian dish. Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is not really broccoli at all, but a member of the turnip family. It is used often in Italian cooking. The leaves, stems, buds and flowers are all edible and have a slightly pungent and sometimes bitter flavor. Finishing this dish with a drizzle of Colavita Novello Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the perfect complement.Broccoli Rabe, Sun-dried Tomato and White Bean PizzaBroccoli Rabe, Sun-dried Tomato, and White Bean Pizza on Polenta Crust with Al fresco Chicken Sausage - yum!

For this recipe, we created a polenta crust with fresh herbs, topped with bitter broccoli rabe, sweet sun-dried tomatoes and meaty white beans. Garnished with a few shavings of salty Pecorino cheese and crunchy pine nuts, this pizza leaves nothing wanted...not even the bread.
