Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces anchovies, drained and minced
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
Coarse sea salt
1 pound dried pappardelle
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the anchovies, mint, chives and 2 tablespoons of the oil. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of oil until shimmering. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper; cook over moderate heat until the garlic is lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, season with salt and cook over moderately high heat, tossing, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pappardelle in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot. Add the zucchini and the reserved pasta water and toss over moderate heat. Transfer the pasta to the bowl with the anchovies and herbs, season with salt and toss well. Serve right away, passing the Parmesan and lemon wedges at the table.

PASTA WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI, ALMONDS AND ANCHOVIES



Pasta With Roasted Broccoli, Almonds and Anchovies image

This no-fuss weeknight pasta makes marvelous use of basic ingredients found in almost every kitchen - and calls for some smart multitasking: Get the broccoli roasting while the pasta cooks, then create an easy emulsified sauce using butter, anchovies, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and a splash of pasta cooking water. A sprinkle of toasted almonds provides texture and crunch. This dish is endlessly adaptable: Go for cauliflower instead of the broccoli (or a combination of the two); use parmesan or any other hard cheese in place of pecorino; opt for walnuts or pistachios instead of the almonds - or bypass nuts altogether and use toasted panko or breadcrumbs. If you don't have campanelle or fusilli, that's fine too. Any pasta with plenty of nooks and crannies to capture the buttery sauce will do.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds broccoli, cut into bite-size florets, stems cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound shaped pasta, such as campanelle or fusilli
1/2 cup chopped almonds
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
6 to 8 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
Grated pecorino, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large sheet pan, toss the broccoli with the olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss again. Spread the mixture in an even layer and roast until crisp and lightly browned, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until it's just short of al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain.
  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, toast the almonds, stirring frequently so they don't burn, 4 to 5 minutes. Set the almonds aside and wipe out the skillet.
  • In the skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the anchovies, garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until the anchovies have melted into the sauce and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water along with the lemon juice and simmer until it emulsifies, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and toss to coat, adding more pasta water as needed. Stir in the roasted broccoli and gently toss and season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with the toasted almonds and serve with cheese, if you'd like.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces short curly pasta, such as gemelli or fusilli
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 pounds zucchini (about 5 small), shredded with a box grater
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
2/3 cup finely grated pecorino Romano, plus more for serving
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more whole leaves for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups water; drain pasta.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil. Add anchovies and garlic; cook, stirring, just until anchovies break down and garlic turns golden, about 30 seconds. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is very tender, about 5 minutes. Add pasta and 1 cup reserved pasta water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in cheese and mint. Add more pasta water if needed, a few tablespoons at a time, until sauce evenly coats pasta. Serve, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with more mint, pepper flakes, and cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, seasonal vegetables, high-quality oil, and flavorful cheese will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Pappardelle should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Sauté the vegetables until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
  • Use a generous amount of olive oil. Olive oil will help to coat the pasta and vegetables and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Season the dish to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as mint or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This pasta dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of summer. The combination of zucchini, anchovies, and mint is truly unique and satisfying. Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, this pappardelle recipe is sure to please.
