Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Cook the broccoli in the boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until it is completely tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to the ice water and cool completely. Drain, pat dry, and coarsely chop the broccoli .
- Add the penne to the same pot of boiling water and cook, stirring often, for about 12 minutes, or until it is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain, reserving 4 tablespoons of the pasta water. Return the drained pasta to the dry pot and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp. of the oil, then add the garlic, chilli, and anchovy. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is toasted. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, or until it is warm and beginning to release its liquid. Stir in 1/2 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
- To the pasta, add the broccoli mixture, 3 tbsp. of the cheese, and the remaining tablespoon oil. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and more lemon juice. Add enough of the reserved pasta water to moisten as desired. Divide among 2 bowls, garnish with more cheese, and serve penne with spicy broccoli sauce

That looks like one of my favourite broccoli pasta recipes. Everyone loves it (and I don’t tell them about the anchovies in it!)
I have been enjoying trying all the delicious Curtis Stone recipes, and this looks just delicious.
Pasta with broccoli, such as this, is one of my very favorite go to meals. I love that it comes together in the time it takes the pasta to boil. So flavorful and delicious. Even better with lots of Parmesan.
I like the slogan and I believe it too: Pasta always works. :) And I love the broccoli sauce you make. :)
So far all the Curtis Stone recipes have been a winner. I Didn’t see this one in the cookbooks I have borrowed from the library so, Thanks for posting it!
Definitely pasta always works! ;-) This looks like a quick, easy and delicious recipe–my favorite kind!
How can you beat an easy to prepare, flavorful dish like this? I’m interested in trying it with the anchovy.
This pasta looks delicious! I love broccoli and anchovies! Perfect!
It’s so true that pasta always works as you are showing here. Simple ingredients with great results.
