CHICKEN FETTUCINI WITH GREENS (Giada de Laurentis)

This is an excellent one dish meal for spring and summer. The fresh lemon taste cannot be beat! The simple flavors come together so well...

1 lb broccoli rabe or broccolini, rough chopped
1/2lb fettucine
1 can (2c) chicken broth
juice of 2 lemons (3-4T)
3c shredded, cooked chicken (rotisserie works well)
3/4c parmesan cheese (fresh if possible)
1/2c pine nuts (optional)
2T fresh parsley
2T olive oil
1T lemon zest

Boil water in a med pot. Add broccoli rabe and cook for 2 min. Remove and add fettucine noodles to the water. Cook for 8 min (save 1/2c of pasta water to add later if needed). In a large skillet over med-high heat, boil chicken broth and lemon juice for 5 min. Add chicken and cook for 2 min. Add broccoli rabe, parmesan, pine nuts, parsley, olive oil, and lemon zest. Stir cooked noodles into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and parmesan cheese and serve.
