Method

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to package instructions.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add about 22 ml of the reserved anchovy oil.

Add the anchovies and garlic to the pan, breaking the fish apart until they melt into a paste.

Stir in the chilli flakes and reduce the heat to low.

Add the broccoli florets to the boiling pasta water two minutes before the pasta is finished.

Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving a small amount of the cooking water.

Toss the pasta and broccoli in the anchovy sauce, adding reserved water if needed to coat.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
