Pasta with broccoli and anchovies
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil and season with salt. Add broccoli and cook for about 1 minute. Drain the broccoli in a colander and let the water drip off. Bring the water back to a boil, add pasta, and cook until done according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 30 seconds. Add anchovy fillets and crushed red pepper, and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes. Add broccoli and sauté until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Add enough reserved cooking liquid to desired consistency. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Serve with Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges. The dish is now ready to be served.
