Penne with Broccoli and Anchovies
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 50g tin of quality anchovies
- 3 sliced garlic cloves
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 500g broccoli, roughly chopped
- 350ml veg stock
- 380g penne pasta
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- Grated parmesan, to serve
- Heat the oil in a large pan and add the anchovies, garlic and chilli flakes to fry for 2 mins. Add the broccoli and toss to coat in the fishy garlic oil, then pour in the stock and simmer for 20 mins or until the broccoli has broken down - mash with a fork a little if necessary to thicken the sauce.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and reserve a cup of the cooking water. Tip the pasta into the broccoli mixture, stir through a squeeze of lemon and the zest, and add a splash of the cooking water to loosen if necessary. Add plenty of black pepper, then sprinkle with plenty of cheese to serve.
