FISH SOUP WITH PASTA AND BROCCOLI
Steps:
- Bring broth and water to a simmer with fish and garlic in a 4-quart heavy pot. Add pasta and simmer until al dente, about 5 minutes (fish will break apart). Add broccoli and simmer (still uncovered) until pasta and broccoli are tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and season soup with salt and pepper. Serve soup drizzled with oil.
SKILLET BROCCOLI SPAGHETTI
This pasta, adapted from "I Dream of Dinner (So You Don't Have To)," by Ali Slagle (Clarkson Potter, 2022), might seem unorthodox at first. The pasta is cooked in the sauce instead of in a separate pot of boiling water? The broccoli is cooked until it's mushy enough to become sauce? Yes and yes, and for very good reasons. The sauce, sweet from simmered-until-tender broccoli and savory with loads of garlic and anchovy, tastes lovingly coddled, like you cooked that broccoli forever. But you know the truth: It came together in minutes. You don't have to wait for a big pot of water to come to a boil, but more important, the pasta and sauce have a symbiotic relationship. The pasta soaks up the sauce flavors from the start, and the pasta releases starch to help turn the water into a creamy sauce.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the garlic and transfer to a large (12-inch) skillet with high sides. Cut the florets off the broccoli, keeping as much of the branch connected to the trunk as possible. Peel the trunk and cut the trunk and branches into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to the skillet. Roughly chop the florets so even the biggest pieces fit on a soup spoon. Leave the florets on the cutting board.
- To the skillet, add the butter and anchovies, and set over medium-high. Cook, smashing the anchovies and stirring the butter, until the garlic and broccoli are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the spaghetti, the florets and any broccoli bits on the board, 2 teaspoons salt and the red-pepper flakes. Pour over 5 cups water. Bring to a boil over high, then cook, tossing often with tongs, until the spaghetti is al dente, 8 to 12 minutes. If the pasta is looking dry, add more water. Eat with grated Parmesan, if using.

FISH SOUP
Ms. Hodgson brought us this recipe over 20 years ago in an article that extolled the virtues of halibut, and indeed, it is very good fish for soups. Here, fish and shellfish are briefly cooked in a saffron-flavored broth. Don't be intimidated. This recipe is extremely simple, and once you've gathered all of the ingredients (perhaps the most time-consuming of all the tasks), it can be put together in about an hour. It can also be made in advance, with the fish cooked in the broth at the last minute. Serve it with our version of rouille (a thick garlicky sauce stirred in after the soup is served) that uses a couple of tablespoons of commercial mayonnaise instead of egg yolks.

Steps:
- Shell the shrimp and put the shells in a stockpot. Put the shrimp in a mound on a large plate. Slice the squid and place in a mound next to the shrimp. Cut the remaining fish into one-and-a-half-inch chunks and put any bones into the stockpot. Squeeze lemon juice onto the fish and set aside.
- Add the parsley to the stockpot with any fish heads and other bones. Add five cups water and simmer gently uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and soften the leek with the carrots and the garlic. Add the tomatoes with the saffron and white wine. Cook gently for five minutes, turn heat down to very low, cover and simmer while the broth is cooking.
- Meanwhile, make the rouille. Put the bread and mayonnaise into the bowl of a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, paprika and cayenne. Slowly add the oil and process until you have a thick puree. Season to taste and place in a small bowl.
- Drain the fish broth and reserve. Put the broth into a pot that you can carry to the table and add the leek tomato mixture. Simmer for five minutes.
- Just before serving add the fish to the broth. First add the squid, cook for five minutes, then add the white fish, cook for two minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for two minutes. Bring to the table and serve the rouille separately.

SICILIAN PASTA AND BROCCOLI
This is a simple dish my grandmother made for me when I was a child. Now I make it for my daughter, Xea, and she loves it. As the broccoli takes on a toasty brown color, it develops a delicious nutty flavor that even picky kids will like.

Steps:
- Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
- In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
- Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.
- Toss in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stir, and garnish with the parsley.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Don't overcook the fish. Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Add the pasta and broccoli towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the soup immediately. Fish soup is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Fish soup with pasta and broccoli is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious fish soup that your family and friends will love.
