Spicy Pasta with Broccoli, Anchovy, and Garlic image

An Italian classic. Sweet, salty, and spicy flavors combine in this unique and tasty pasta and broccoli dish. This dish benefits from being richly coated in olive oil. Serve with a fresh, absorbent slice of focaccia to mop up the sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head broccoli, cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pinches salt to taste
½ (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
6 anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Toss broccoli in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt; spread on a large baking sheet.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until broccoli is tender and beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until anchovies dissolve into the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with pepper. Mix in roasted broccoli.
  • Drain pasta and return to the pot. Add broccoli-anchovy mixture and mix well. Drizzle remaining olive oil on top.
