Pasta with crispy broccoli

Broccoli are a great source of immune boosting vitamins and minerals- The problem that they are usually consumed overcooked and without any seasoning, This dish is very simple but tasty. We only need a fresh broccolo cut into florets, a few anchovies, 2 cloves of garlic sliced finely, a little red paper fresh or dry, good EVO, some grated parmigiano and black pepper to taste.  

The idea is to keep the florets crisp. Step one is to put on salted water to cook the pasta and the florets. In the meanwhile use a large skillet and cover it's bottom with EVO. Add the sliced garlic, the red pepper and three anchovies. Sautee in low heat until the anchovies are amalgamated. Do not burn the garlic. Shut off the skillet. By this time the water should boil. Add salt and the pasta, ay shape will do. If the pasta has an indicated cooking time of 8 minutes. after 3 minutes add the florets. They should cook for 3 minutes. At this point start the slkillet and add the pasta and florets. Scup them out into the skillet. Stir well and add cooking pasta water. Aerate ans ad a little more cooking water. Add a dash of EVO and stir. This should take two minutes. Shut off the heat wait about 30 seconds and add the parmigiano. Stir well. Now you are ready to serve. Notice that no salt was added because the anchovies and the cheese are salty.

Serve and finish the plate with some black pepper and a dash of raw EVO. It's really a very simple dish.

Buon appetito
