Pasta with Broccoli

How to prepare pasta with broccoli

1. Bring plenty of salted water to a boil in a pot.
2. Break the broccoli into small florets. Put them in the boiling water and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until cooked but not soft. Remove from water, place in a colander, and quickly run under cold water to stop the cooking and preserve the green color.
3. In the same water where the broccoli was cooked, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
4. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped onion.
5. When softened, add the chopped anchovy fillets and cook for 1 more minute.
6. Add the passata, a little pepper, and 100ml of pasta water, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. If the sauce seems too dry during this time, add more pasta water.
8. Add the pine nuts and bring to a boil a few times.
9. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss until coated.
10. Add the broccoli and salt to taste, and gently mix.
11. Serve sprinkled with parmesan.
