Delicious Pasta Broccoli Alici (Anchovies)

What I like about this food? Obviously it's healthy as it is with fish and vegetable. It is also incredibly delicious. And this was only an accidental discovery. The dish is supposed to be of turnip tips with salted canned anchovies and pasta but we could not find this vegetable here in Netherlands so we had to think of a substitute. To make the story short, we thought of broccoli! And hooray! We never expected that it would come out this yummy. You want to learn the good stuff of broccoli.

I used to like this dish more, pasta with ham and mushroom and cream, but now I prefer the one with broccoli.

The dish is very quick to prepare as well.

1. Boil broccoli (put minimal amount of water to not take the taste of broccoli). You may mix with salt to flavor or pepper or chili depending on your palate. In the meantime, boil your pasta of choice.

2. Drain the boiled broccoli. Place oil, then add garlic (optional) and onion in separate pan and then when ready, add conserved anchovies. After, mix the broccoli with it. Adjust seasoning to suit your palate and also the level of "crookedness".
