Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Broccoli and Anchovy Linguine.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven's broiler, positioning the oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
While that heats up, grab a bowl and toss your fresh broccoli florets with a tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 3
Spread the seasoned broccoli evenly on a large baking sheet, making sure each piece has room to roast beautifully.
Step 4
Pop the baking sheet under the broiler and let the broccoli cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it until it’s tender and has a lovely golden-brown color.
Step 5
While the broccoli is broiling to perfection, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a boil.
Step 6
Once boiling, add your linguine and cook according to the package instructions, which usually takes around 11 minutes, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 7
Next, in a large skillet, warm up another tablespoon of olive oil over low heat.
Step 8
Add in the anchovy fillets, sliced garlic, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Step 9
Stir this mixture gently for about 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the anchovies to dissolve into the oil and infuse it with flavor.
Step 10
Season with a dash of black pepper and then fold in the roasted broccoli, letting those vibrant flavors mingle.
Step 11
Once your pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot.
Step 12
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Add the broccoli and anchovy mixture to the pasta, tossing everything until it’s well combined and coated in that delicious oil.
Step 13
For a finishing touch, drizzle a little more olive oil on top before serving.
Step 14
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor!.
