Heat a few inches of water in a deep skillet. Add salt and cook rapini about 3 minutes. Cold-shock, drain and dry.
Heat EVOO over medium heat with garlic to infuse the oil. Remove the cloves and add pepper to heat in oil. Raise heat a bit to medium-high, add rapini and cook to crisp at edges, 3-4 minutes. Top rapini with lots of cheese and serve.
