PASTA WITH BROCCOLI, ANCHOVIES, AND GARLIC RECIPE



PASTA WITH BROCCOLI, ANCHOVIES, AND GARLIC RECIPE image

Categories     Pasta

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1
pound of
Pasta (ziti, rigatoni, fusilli, or shells)
1/4
cup of
Olive oil
4
slices of
Cloves garlic, peeled and thinly diced
2
tablespoons of
Anchovy paste
4
cups of
Cooked broccoli florets (removed from large stalks)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 C Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large amount of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain well. 2. In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the anchovy paste and mix well. Combine with the cooked broccoli, stirring gently to coat. 3. In a large mixing bowl, toss together the broccoli mixture with the cooked pasta. Season with a generous amount of black pepper. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant color and a crisper texture than frozen broccoli. If you are using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it thoroughly before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp, which will take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good quality olive oil will add flavor and richness to the dish. Extra-virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Don't be afraid to add garlic: Garlic adds a delicious flavor to the dish. You can use as much or as little as you like.
  • Season the pasta water: Salting the pasta water helps to flavor the pasta. Add about 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water.
  • Reserve some of the pasta water: The starchy pasta water can be used to thicken the sauce. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.

Conclusion:

This broccoli and garlic pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of broccoli, garlic, and olive oil is simple but delicious. The pasta is cooked in the same pot as the broccoli, which saves time and cleanup. This dish is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Serve it with a side salad or a piece of garlic bread for a complete meal.
