Ditalini w/ Pesto, Beans and Broccoli Rabe


This recipe for Ditalini w/ Pesto, Beans and Broccoli Rabe is a winner! Cheap, easy, delicious and so, so nutritious! I can find Ditalini at Fred Meyer under the "Private Selection" label. While I normally prefer Barilla pasta, I can't find Barilla ditalini in any of my local stores. This "PS" label does an admirable job. Broccoli rabe (pronounced "Rob") is a green leafy similar in looks and taste to kale or swiss chard. It is also called rapini. It is easier and easier to find these days. Don't be scared of it - it's delicous in this dish!
