Method

  1. Dice the potatoes and finely chop the anchovies and garlic . 
  2. Roughly chop the broccoli and cut the broccoli into small florets.
  3. Heat a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and add the broccolini & broccoli . Blanch for 3 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile heat a frypan and add 1/3 cup of olive oil. When hot add the garlic and anchovies. Stir quickly as you don’t want it to burn. The anchovies will melt.

  7. When cooked strain the water but reserve 1/3 cup of the water. 
  8. Add the pasta & potatoes to the frypan with the broccoli and broccolini. Add the remaining oil and reserved pasta water. Mix through. 
  9. Finish with Parmesan cheese.
  10. Serve with fresh diced chilli and another drizzle of fresh extra virgin olive oil.
