Ingredients
- 150g wholewheat or regular spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ x 30g tin anchovies in oil, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ½-1 red chilli, deseeded and diced
- zest and juice of ½ orange
- 200g Tenderstem broccoli, each cut into 3-4 pieces
- 15g toasted flaked almonds
Step by step
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Drop in the spaghetti and cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the anchovies, garlic and chilli; cook for 3-4 minutes until the anchovies have broken down. Squeeze in the orange juice and add three-quarters of the orange zest. Leave on a low heat to bubble.
- Drop the broccoli into the water with the spaghetti and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until both are tender but with a little bite. Drain, saving a splash of pasta water.
- Toss the pasta and broccoli with the anchovy mixture, adding a little of the pasta water to create a sauce. Season with black pepper, divide between 2 bowls and top with the toasted almonds and the remaining orange zest.
