This is one of our favourite quick pastas and after spending 3 weeks in Malaysia - sampling some amazing asian flavours, lets just say we were craving pasta!This pasta is so simple and quick. All ingredients ready while the pasta cooks.
Threw the pasta and will it was cooking, fried off some pine nuts in olive oil, then took them out as they can burn quickly. In the pine nutty oil fried off some chilli, a wee bit of anchovy and grated lemon zest. Let this rest.
When the pasta was few minutes off, threw in some brocolli to the boiling pasta. You have to time this right, so you don't overcook your pasta and brocolli, aiming for both to be just right at the same time...always a bit of gamble...so if you aren't confident boil or steam your greens separately.
When the pasta and brocolli were ready, drained but no too much to get a bit of moisture in the pot. Threw in a bit more olive oil in with the pasta and threw in the lemony, garlicy, anchovy mix and the pine nuts (saving some to top with the cheese). Had some proscuito, so tore some in aswell! (If you do this go light on the anchovy). And squeezed in the juice of the lemon and a wee bit more extra virgin. Dished up with parmesen and a glass of pilsener!
Such a simple pasta and so delicious! Try it with any good boiling veg, like asparagus, spinach, long green beans! Mmm next time.
