Penne With Anchovies and Broccoli



Ingredients:

400 grams penne
50 grams tin anchovies in olive oil, oil reserved
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 teaspoon chilli flakes
1 head of  broccoli (about 350 grams) chopped into very small florets
Salt and black pepper

How to cook:

Cook the pasta in boiling water. About 8 minutes, or packet instructions.
Heat a large frying pan. Pour 1½ tablespoons of the anchovy oil into the pan and when it becomes hot, add the anchovies and the garlic, breaking the anchovies up with a wooden spoon as they cook. Cook gently until the anchovies have melted into a paste. Add the chilli flakes and mix well. Reduce the heat to low until the pasta is ready.
When the pasta is two minutes away from being ready, add the broccoli to the pan with the pasta. Continue to cook for two minutes and then drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Tip the pasta and broccoli into the pan with the anchovies and stir well to coat everything in the anchovy sauce. If the anchovies are too thick or the pasta a little sticky, then add a dash of the pasta water, stir and continue to add until all the pasta is coated with the sauce. Kali oreksi!
