Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head broccoli, cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pinches salt to taste
½ (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
6 anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

PASTA WITH GARLICKY ANCHOVIES AND BROCCOLI RABE



Pasta With Garlicky Anchovies and Broccoli Rabe image

Anchovies star in this robust, wintery pasta dish, lending a savory backbone to a pan full of wilted broccoli rabe and fresh tomatoes. Although the anchovies and garlic are sautéed in olive oil, butter is added at the end, giving the sauce some richness and body, and mellowing the bitterness of the broccoli rabe. Note that while the ricotta adds creaminess to the pasta, it is strictly optional. Leave it out for a leaner dish with a more concentrated flavor.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
12 ounces short pasta, such as shells, wagon wheels or rigatoni
2 packed cups parsley, leaves and tender stems
10 anchovy fillets, preferably packed in olive oil (one 2-ounce tin)
1 small bunch scallions, white and green parts, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained (optional)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced to a paste
1 (1-pound) bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped fresh tomato (plum, cherry or grape work well)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Ricotta, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until 1 minute shy of al dente. Use a coffee cup or measuring cup to save some pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, coarsely chop the parsley, 6 anchovy fillets, scallions, capers (if using) and a pinch of salt. You can chop it all together on a cutting board, or pulse everything briefly together in the food processor; just make sure to keep it coarse.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium. Add oil, remaining 4 anchovies and half the garlic, and let cook, stirring, until anchovies start to dissolve, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in broccoli rabe, tomato, about two-thirds of the parsley mixture and a pinch of salt to the pan. Sauté until the rabe is tender, 5 to 8 minutes, adding splashes of pasta water as the pan dries out. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.
  • Add pasta to pan along with butter, lemon zest, remaining garlic and red-pepper flakes. Toss until the butter melts and the pasta is combined with the vegetables, adding more pasta water if the mixture seems dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and sprinkle with remaining parsley mixture. Drizzle with olive oil, and serve with ricotta, if you like.

Kosher salt
1 pound farfalle pasta
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon anchovy paste

1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI AND ANCHOVIES



Pasta With Broccoli and Anchovies image

Okay, so once I discovered the joy of anchovies as part of a sauce, I was hooked! This is from wineloverspage.com. Description included the following memorable quote: "Note well that you'll find no evidence of hairy little fish in the finished dish, and only the most haunting scent of the sea in a rich, salty flavor."

Provided by lecole54

Categories     Penne

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb broccoli
1 -2 large garlic clove
2 ounces anchovies, packed flat in olive oil (can)
red pepper flakes, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 -6 ounces rigatoni pasta (or penne or similar short pasta)

Steps:

  • Rinse the broccoli and cut it into bite-size florets. If you're feeling thrifty, you can peel and slice the "trunk" into bite-size pieces, too, although using florets only makes for an attractive presentation.
  • Peel the garlic and mince it fine. Chop the anchovies fine, discarding any excess oil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a small saute pan or skillet over medium-low heat and gently cook the minced garlic with a small shake of dried red-pepper flakes (just enough for an accent; you don't want a fiery dish) until the garlic turns translucent and aromatic. Stir in the chopped anchovies and continue poaching gently for a few minutes, stirring until the anchovies dissolve into the oil. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pot full of lightly salted water and cook the broccoli and pasta together until the pasta is done; at that point the broccoli will be very soft.
  • Drain the broccoli and pasta, catching a bit of the pasta water in a measuring cup. Put the broccoli and pasta in a warm serving bowl and toss with the anchovy and garlic oil and, if necessary, a bit of the pasta water to achieve a thick saucy texture. Serve with crusty bread and a salad as a hearty side dish or main course.

BROCCOLI WITH ANCHOVIES AND GARLIC



Broccoli With Anchovies and Garlic image

Admit it. Broccoli, that ubiquitous vegetable side dish, gets old. This take, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1987 as part of his 60-Minute Gourmet column, will not. It is not much different - and no more difficult - than your standard broccoli sauté except for the addition of anchovies. If that word normally frightens you, fear not. Here, they are barely detectable as such, but provide a complex salinity that salt alone cannot. You'll never eat boring broccoli again.

Categories     side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch of broccoli, about 1 1/4 pounds
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 4 anchovies, smashed into a paste

Steps:

  • Cut off the broccoli tops into individual florets. Cut the stems crosswise into 2-inch lengths. Trim off the outside of the stems and cut the trimmed pieces diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. There should be about 6 cups in all.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover the broccoli when it is added. Add salt and the broccoli pieces and cook 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, over relatively high heat, and add the garlic, pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Cook, tossing and stirring the ingredients together, about 1 minute. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for ripe broccoli, flavorful anchovies, and pungent garlic.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the broccoli, make sure to give it enough room to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the broccoli will steam instead of roasting and will become mushy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the perfect cooking stage for pasta. The pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Season the dish to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the dish will depend on your personal preference. Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly.

Conclusion:

This spicy pasta with broccoli, anchovy, and garlic is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The roasted broccoli adds a nice smoky flavor to the dish, while the anchovies and garlic add a savory punch. The pasta is cooked al dente and coated in a flavorful sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
