PERCIATELLI WITH BROCCOLI, TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES



Perciatelli With Broccoli, Tomatoes and Anchovies image

This Southern Italian pasta is inspired by a dish that calls for the light green cauliflower used in Sicily. I love the mix of broccoli, anchovies and olives set off by the sweetness of the currants, but since my son doesn't like currants or raisins, I've made them optional.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup golden raisins or currants (optional)
1 pound baby broccoli
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed and chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 pound tomatoes, grated, or 1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
8 imported black olives, pitted and chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 pound perciatelli (also sold as bucatini) or spaghetti
2 to 4 tablespoons grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water. Let sit for 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the baby broccoli. Blanch for 4 minutes and, using a skimmer or tongs, transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain and shake out excess water. If the stems are thick and hard, peel. Chop coarsely.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until it smells fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute, and add the anchovies, thyme and tomatoes. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir in the olives. Drain the raisins or currants and add, along with the broccoli and about 1/4 cup of the cooking water from the broccoli. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover, turn the heat to low and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is very tender and the sauce is fragrant. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
  • Bring the water back to a boil and cook the pasta al dente, following the timing instructions on the package. Check the sauce and if it seems dry add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and transfer to the pan with the sauce. Toss together and serve, sprinkled with pecorino or Parmesan. If desired, drizzle a little olive oil over each serving.

BROCCOLI WITH ANCHOVIES AND GARLIC



Broccoli With Anchovies and Garlic image

Admit it. Broccoli, that ubiquitous vegetable side dish, gets old. This take, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1987 as part of his 60-Minute Gourmet column, will not. It is not much different - and no more difficult - than your standard broccoli sauté except for the addition of anchovies. If that word normally frightens you, fear not. Here, they are barely detectable as such, but provide a complex salinity that salt alone cannot. You'll never eat boring broccoli again.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch of broccoli, about 1 1/4 pounds
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 4 anchovies, smashed into a paste

Steps:

  • Cut off the broccoli tops into individual florets. Cut the stems crosswise into 2-inch lengths. Trim off the outside of the stems and cut the trimmed pieces diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. There should be about 6 cups in all.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover the broccoli when it is added. Add salt and the broccoli pieces and cook 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, over relatively high heat, and add the garlic, pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Cook, tossing and stirring the ingredients together, about 1 minute. Serve.

PERCIATELLI WITH TOMATO AND PROSCIUTTO SAUCE



Perciatelli with Tomato and Prosciutto Sauce image

This version of a classic Italian pasta dish is prepared with prosciutto, as was often done in Italian-American restaurants. For a more traditional version, substitute 6 ounces of guanciale (cured pork-cheek bacon) or regular bacon cut into 1/4-inch strips for the prosciutto. Cook the guanciale or bacon in the skillet with the olive oil before adding the onion. Cook until lightly browned but still soft, about 4 minutes for the guanciale or 2 minutes for the bacon. Then add the onion and continue with the recipe as below.

Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
One 35-ounce can whole Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
1 pound perciatelli pasta
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 bay leaves
4 ounces imported Italian prosciutto, sliced 1/8 inch thick and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper
1 cup grated mild Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
  • Drain the tomatoes and reserve the juice. Cut the tomatoes in quarters lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and cores. Stir the perciatelli into the boiling water. Return to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bay leaves and cook until the onion is wilted but still crunchy, about 4 minutes. Add the prosciutto and stir 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, about 1 cup of the reserved liquid, and the crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer, and cook until the pasta is done.
  • Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta-cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add half the sauce and the remaining olive oil. Stir until the sauce is bubbling and the pasta is coated. If necessary, add as much of the reserved pasta-cooking liquid as needed to make enough sauce to coat the pasta lightly but evenly. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated cheese. Transfer the pasta to a heated platter or serving bowls and top with the remaining sauce.

BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND ANCHOVIES



Broccoli with Garlic and Anchovies image

Don't be put off by the number of anchovies in this recipe; they will soften and mellow during cooking, contributing wonderful flavor without being the least bit overpowering.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large head broccoli (1 1/4 pounds), trimmed and cut lengthwise through stalk into long spears (4 to 6 inches long)
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
6 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add broccoli (in a single layer, if possible), and cook, without turning, until bottom sides are nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add garlic and anchovies, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper; flip broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, until garlic and anchovies are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the water, and continue cooking until broccoli is just tender (the stalk should provide little resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife), 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Season with more pepper, and add vinegar to pan, stirring to coat broccoli. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Perciatelli is a great choice for this recipe because it has a large surface area that can hold onto the sauce. If you don't have perciatelli, you can use another type of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape well.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh broccoli, and good-quality anchovies.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Season the dish to taste. Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes.

Conclusion:

This perciatelli with broccoli, tomatoes, and anchovies is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try!
