I am about to attempt this recipe. It was emailed to me by rosa (my mommy) and she found it here. The recipe comes from Hallmark and is part of a challenge to find the best 4 ingredient recipe. I can’t tell you how intrigued and excited I am over this challenge! Four ingredients is pretty much my limit so I am extremely curious to see what they find. At any rate, tonight I am making the recipe below. Rob is coming over and I figured I’d surprise him. Normally we have fish and rice but I think the middle of August and the day before the anniversary of Elvis’s death deserves a different kind of meal.

8 ounces cheese tortellini according

1 bunch (1 pound) broccoli rabe

1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

• In a large pot of boiling water, cook 8 ounces dried, shelf-stable (or 12 ounces refrigerated) cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.

• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 bunch (1 pound) broccoli rabe, chopped. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

• Add the broccoli rabe mixture to the pasta and toss gently. Stir in 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve hot.
