Method

  • step 1

    Cook the broccoli in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain, reserving the cooking water. Cook the pasta in the same water as the broccoli according to pack instructions.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a pan, then fry garlic until lightly golden. Remove garlic, then set aside. Add anchovies, chilli and half a cup of pasta cooking water to the pan. Cook for 2 mins, until the liquid has reduced by half and the anchovies have broken down. Stir in the broccoli and a squeeze of lemon juice, then cook for 1 min, until the broccoli has warmed through. Drain the pasta then toss everything together. Serve scattered with parmesan.

RECIPE TIPS
DON'T LIKE ANCHOVIES?

Anchovies are preserved in brine, then stored in oil or salt. Pat them with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil before cooking. If using those packed in salt, rinse well first. You can replace the anchovies with tinned tuna.

Why does this feature in the "Tinned tuna recipes" collection?

Hi, thanks for your question. There is a tip beneath the recipe that says you can replace the anchovies with tinned tuna. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.

I was excited to try this recipe but it just wasn’t all that sadly. It was quite dry and lacked flavour. If you’re going to make it, I’d possibly suggest adding more anchovies. I only cooked pasta for 2 portions and there was just not enough ‘sauce’ to coat the pasta.

This is quick, simple and delicious. Even committed meat eating teenagers loved it.

I thought this was quick and easy and tasty although I did add bacon for my non veggie OH. I simplified it slightly by frying chopped bacon then adding all the other ingredients to the same pan before mixing with pasta and broccoli. Will make again.
