Going vegetarian

I found some really fresh and beautiful broccoli rabe or rapini at a supermarket yesterday and decided I'm eating vegetarian for the next few days. After all the turkey, roast beef, fish, roast pork and all the meat, I needed to cleanse my system. Besides I need to save some money after the huge Christmas bill. Broccoli rabe always brings back happy memories, memories of happy times spent in Southern Italy. They eat a lot of broccoli rabe in Southern Italy, with their pasta. The first thing we did when we arrived in Bari, a town in Southern Italy was to order pasta with broccoli rabe. It was great. So I decided to make some pasta with broccoli rabe. There's so much of it that I shall be eating for the next few days.
