Ingredients
- 400g No.1 Trofie (or see tips)
- 2 x 200g packs Tenderstem broccoli spears, sliced into thirds
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 80g white sourdough or similar bread, torn into small pieces
- 2 x 45g cans Cantabrian anchovy fillets
- 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
- ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped, or pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 unwaxed lemon, zest and juice
Method
Boil the pasta according to pack instructions, and add the broccoli for the final 2 minutes, until both are al dente.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with 2 tbsp olive oil and place over a medium-high heat. Add the bread and toast it, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp – the larger pieces will still be soft in the middle, and that’s perfect.
Remove the crumbs to a plate, wipe out the pan, then place it back over a medium heat. Add the anchovies and their oil, with the garlic and chilli, if using. Fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the garlic is fragrant and the anchovies melt into the oil. Once the pasta is ready, drain, reserving a cup of cooking water.
Tip the pasta and broccoli into the anchovy pan with the lemon juice, a large splash of reserved cooking water and the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Stir together over the heat for 2 minutes until well coated. Serve scattered with the breadcrumbs and lemon zest.
Cook’s tip
On episode 7, season 6 of Dish, the Waitrose podcast, Angela prepares this recipes using No. 1 Orecchiette pasta. She finely chops the brocolli and adds it to the oil, garlic and chilli mixture before the anchovies.
And to drink...
Angela pairs this recipe with Tre Fiori Greco di Tufo Docg. This crisp and refreshing white wine has a fragrant aroma of garden herbs and clean flavours of exotic fruit.
