This recipe is inspired by the farmer market in spring, when the first radishes and raabs hit. It’s always amazing to see raabs—bouquets of greens that have overwintered and are sending up flowers to become seeds for the next season. Broccoli raab is the most famous of the raab, but we are also crazy for arugula, cabbage, collard, and kale raabs. And the best way we’ve found to cook them is to blanch them in boiling water, which happens to be exactly how you cook noodles! So we cook them together for a really easy dinner hack.

What we love about this recipe is its simplicity. “Quick, effective, and tasty!” as Ali says. It utilizes one of our all-time favorite cooking tricks: blanching broccoli, raab, or greens in boiling water at the same time you cook the noodles. They turn out perfectly cooked, and you have one less dish to wash. Since Umi noodles are naturally high in protein, this can be the simplest dinner of your week.
