While the pasta is cooking, trim off the bottom 4-6 inches from the broccoli rabe and discard, leaving the stems and florets. Chop into 2-inch pieces.
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli rabe and stir. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover pan and add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir; shake the pan to keep the garlic from burning. Add remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil. Re-cover the pan and cook for 6 minutes longer.
