Step 1

Place a large non stick skillet over medium heat and when it is hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook until just turning golden, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe, stir well and cook until the rabe begins to brighten, 3 - 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add red pepper flakes and white beans and cook until the beans are heated through, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook until tender. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add pasta water to broccoli rabe mixture and stir to combine. Add pasta and stir. Just prior to serving, add toasted pine nuts.
