Pasta with Broccoli Rabe

Broccoli Rabe. First time I had broccoli Rabe was several years ago on Thanksgiving. Grannie placed a garlicky bowl of greens and told us to eat them. They were saturated with butter and garlic (oh, grannie!) but man were they delicious.
I havent had any since! Because growin up, butter was the devil in my house.
crazy, right?
Well, while walking around the farmers market I spied a lovely bunch of broccoli rabe (among other things...) and mindlessly picked it up. It was a massive bunch. And after perusing the net for a good recipe I finally knew what i wanted to do with it.
Its a nutty and bitter green, so i knew that I wanted to enjoy it with garlic... but also still have that nutty bitterness.
Ingredients (serves 2)
1 bunch of broccoli rabe, roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp parm cheese
2 cups cooked pasta.
I rinsed it and threw it in my steamer for 12 minutes. While the steamer was steaming, i threw some pasta on the stovetop. I sauteed two cloves of garlic in a little bit of olive oil.
