Looking for a tasty, quick pasta dish that’s packed with flavor? This broccoli and anchovy pasta is a perfect choice. The combination of fresh broccoli with savory anchovies creates a simple yet delicious meal that can be prepared in no time. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try making the pasta from scratch!
In a large mixing bowl, place the flour and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, olive oil, and sea salt. Stir the ingredients in the center, gradually incorporating the flour to form a smooth, firm dough.
Shape the dough into a disc about 1cm (½in) thick, wrap it in cling film, and let it chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Once the dough is thin enough, cut it into strips for tagliatelle or linguine.
Blanch the broccoli florets and stems in boiling water for 4-5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a separate large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes until it floats to the surface. Drain, reserving some of the pasta cooking water.
Combine the broccoli, pasta, anchovies, and a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pasta water in the pan. Stir well to coat the pasta in the anchovy-broccoli mixture. Cook for an additional minute.
Serve the pasta in bowls, topping each portion with freshly grated Parmesan and black pepper.
