A fundamental delicious vegetarian recipe for Orecchiette Pasta with Broccoli Sauce – filled with taste and nutrients!



ingredients

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets- cut or damaged into very small florets about equal size
  • 8 ounces brief pasta- orecchiette pasta, penne, rigatoni, etc
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves- tough chopped
  • generous pinch chili flakes
  • generous pinch salt and pepper
  • 1–2 anchovy, chopped (optional)
  • 2 cups veggie or hen broth
  • Garnish options- grated parmesan or pecorino cheese,  lemon zest, recent basil ribbons, toasted pine nuts, toasted bread crumbs, truffle oil or kalamata olives- all optional.

instructions

  • Steam small broccoli florets till very smooth ( simply pierced with a fork)  and set aside.

  • Cook pasta according to directions, and shop a few hot pasta water whilst you drain.

  • In a big pan, saute the garlic and chili flakes within the olive oil, over medium warmth till aromatic and golden, about 2-3 minutes.  Add the steamed broccoli, elective anchovy, salt, pepper and broth. Bring to a soft simmer and leap breaking aside the broccoli with a steel spatula into tiny pieces. You desire the broccoli to simply melt down right into a “sauce”.  Continue simmering gently, on low warmth till half of the liquid evaporates and it turns into the consisancy of a thick sauce, about 10-15 minutes. It won’t be smooth-just damaged down and tender.

  • Add the pasta. Toss well. Add extra pasta water for those who find it irresistible a bit of extra saucy. Taste for salt, including extra alongside with pepper and the chili flakes.

  • Divide amongst bowls and best with any of the garnishes you like. Grated Parmesan provides depth and salt, Lemon zest provides a good brightness, which I particularly suggest and a drizzle of truffle oil elevates.

notes

  • Sometimes I’ll halve the pasta ( if cooking for two) and make this with the similar quantity of broccoli sauce, boosting the broccoli part. Just sayin’.;)
