Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Boil broccoli rabe for 1 -2 minutes; remove and plunge into a bowl of ice water.

Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with some dry white wine.
Let them soak about 10 minutes to become infused with the flavor of the wine.
In a small, dry skillet over medium heat add the pine nuts and breadcrumbs. Shake pan in a back-and-forth motion until they are are golden and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Add garlic and shallots, sauteing 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Drain the broccoli rabe, pat dry, and add to the skillet.
Drain the sardines. Using a fork, break sardines into small pieces and add to the skillet.
Add the drained raisins, olives, lemon juice, lemon zest, crushed red pepper, and salt. Saut 1-2 minutes more.
Add cooked pasta to the skillet with the broccoli rabe mixture.
Add toasted bread crumb mixture and fresh parsley and toss.
Drizzle with quality extra virgin olive oil before serving.
