Ingredients
Instructions
  1. 1

    To prepare the spaghetti with broccoli cream and anchovies, start by cleaning the broccoli: separate the florets from the central stem 1. Reduce the stem into smaller pieces 2. Cook everything in boiling salted water for 5 minutes 3, until tender.

  2. 2

    Drain the broccoli 4, taking care to preserve the cooking water and to keep aside a handful of florets for garnishing the dishes. Transfer the rest into a jug 5 and add a drizzle of oil 6.

  3. 3

    Pour a ladle of broccoli cooking water 7, then blend everything 8 until you get a smooth cream 9.

  4. 4

    Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil and sauté the florets set aside 10 until lightly golden 11. Season with pepper to taste, remove them from the pan and set aside. In the meantime, prepare the crispy breadcrumbs: finely chop the sun-dried tomato drained from the preserving oil 12.

  5. 5

    Heat a drizzle of oil in the pan used for the broccoli, add the breadcrumbs 13, the chopped sun-dried tomato 14 and a pinch of salt 15, then toast everything over medium heat until the bread becomes golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Once ready, remove from the heat and set aside 16. Now you can cook the spaghetti in the same water in which you cooked the broccoli 17. In the meantime, cut 4 anchovies into pieces 18.

  7. 7

    In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil with the crushed garlic cloves 19. Let it flavor for a few minutes, then remove the garlic 20 and pour a ladle of cooking water 21.

  8. 8

    Drain the spaghetti and transfer them to the pan 22. Add another ladle of cooking water 23 and the broccoli cream 24, then mix well to combine all the ingredients.

  9. 9

    Add the 4 anchovies 25 and stir one last time 26. Finally, plate the spaghetti, garnishing them with the cream 27.

  10. 10

    Garnish with the crispy sun-dried tomato breadcrumbs 28, the toasted broccoli florets and 3 whole Cantabrian anchovies per plate 29. The spaghetti with broccoli cream and anchovies are ready to be served 30!
