Whole Wheat Pasta with Broccoli Rabe

This dish is cheap, healthy and easy to make. Three factors that are very important to me. It's a good meal but not good as leftovers. This dish dries out really quickly and I haven't figured out how to make it not taste like dry pasta and shriveled greens after it's been re-heated. If you can fix this problem let me know.


Ingredients:
1/2 box of whole wheat pasta
1 package of broccoli rabe
3-4 cloves of garlic
salt
olive oil
lots of parmesan cheese
reserved pasta water
3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar or more depending on your preference

Instructions:
Boil the pasta, drain and save about 1/2 cup of the liquid
Chop the garlic into thin slices, saute garlic in olive oil for a few minutes
Add the broccoli rabe and saute on medium heat until the stems are tender, approximately 10-15 minutes
add salt and stir in balsamic vinegar
Stir in the cooked pasta
Add the reserved pasta liquid
Add the parmesan cheese
