Pasta with Broccoli and Anchovy Sauce

The distinctive flavor of fresh broccoli combines well with that of anchovies in this easy but different pasta sauce. Recipe serves 4-6 as a light meal.

Ingredients:

1 pound (500 g) broccoli, cut into florets

12 1/2 ounces (400 g) pasta of choice

Method:

1. Cook broccoli florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are still crisp.
