chilli
Cook the broccoli and the orecchiette in boiling salted water, then drain when the pasta is just tender (usually about 11 minutes, but cooking time depends on the pasta used).
In a large saucepan, saute garlic and anchovies in olive oil, stirring continuously.
When the anchovies are dissolved, add the orecchiette and broccoli to the pan and, stirring, saute? for a short while.
Toss to coat the pasta and broccoli with the sauce, season with chilli and serve piping hot.
This dish can also be prepared using broccoli rabe instead of broccoli.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
