Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 2 small heads Broccoli, cut into small florets
  • Pasta of your choice (we use Orecchiete or Casareccia)
  • 1 – 2 long red chilli (depending how spicy you want it), finely chopped
  • 1 fillet anchovy (or use Capers to make vegetarian), finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Dry White Wine
  • Parmesan cheese

Method

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil
  • Meanwhile, place a good glug of olive oil in a large, deep-sided fry pan. Heat over medium-high
  • Add the chilli and anchovy (or capers if using) cook for 2 min
  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds
  • Immediately add a good splash of white wine to stop the garlic from burning. Allow to cook down (approx 6 minutes)
  • Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook until 3/4 cooked, approx 6 – 7 minutes
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked broccoli to the fry pan. Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir to coat. Continue to cook, adding small splashes of olive oil or white wine if getting dry
  • Add the pasta to the water and cook until al dente
  • When cooked, transfer the pasta to the fry pan and stir to coat. Season well with salt and pepper, and grate over a generous amount of parmesan cheese
  • Use pasta water to loosen and create the sauce
  • Serve immediately
