Broccoli Rabe, Feta and Mint Pasta

Pleasantly bitter broccoli rabe, lightly sharp feta cheese and refreshing mint perk up tomato sauce in an inventive meatless meal (just omit the pancetta for a vegetarian version). For a fresh, authentic flavor, use sheep’s milk feta. The pasta is so satisfying, no side dish is needed.
