PASTA WITH BROCCOLI - BUCATINI CON I BROCCOLI
Ingredients:
300 g “bucatini” pasta (11 oz)
1 pinch saffron
500 g broccoli (1 lb 2 oz)
80 g toasted breadcrumbs (3 oz)
3 anchovies in parsley oil
ground sweet chilli in oil
1 small onion
Gentile di Chieti Extra Virgin Olive Oil
half tablespoon tomato puree
sultanas
salt
pine seeds
Time: 1 hour
Wash the broccoli and cut it into pieces. Just cover with boiling water and simmer until stalks are softened (Save the water to cook the pasta in later).
Separate the anchovies in the Gentile di Chieti oil and add the chopped, peeled onion.
Lightly fry and, as soon as the onion begins to turn light brown, add the broccoli and stir with a wooden spoon. Revive the pine seeds and sultanas with a little (tepid) water, add the saffron, tomato puree and ground sweet chilli to taste. Add this mixture to the broccoli sauce. Cook and drain the pasta (bucatini) and pour the pasta into the pan holding the sauce, stir well and, finally, add the toasted breadcrumbs. Serve hot. |
