Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the rapini and cook until crisp-tender, 2 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rapini to a large bowl of ice water.
• Once cooled, drain rapini and set aside.
• Add the fettuccine to the same pot of boiling water and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, bring the broth and lemon juice to a boil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Boil until the broth reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken and simmer just until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Add rapini to the chicken broth and stir to combine.
• Add the pasta, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, parsley, oil, and lemon zest.
• Toss to coat, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten.
• Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Mound the pasta into bowls and serve.
• Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, reserving 1/2 cup of the water.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the sausage pieces, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the hot pan until the sausage is no longer pink on the outside, about 4 minutes. Stir in the broccoli rabe and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Pour in the reserved 1/2 cup of pasta boiling water. Cover, and cook until the sausage is no longer pink in the center and the broccoli rabe is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir the cooked pasta, broccoli rabe, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese together until evenly mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper to serve.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. In a nonstick wok, stir-fry the chicken, pepper, onion and garlic in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add the pasta, mushrooms, tomatoes, sauce and seasoning; heat through. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; let stand until melted.
