Calabrese Pasta e Broccoli (e77)

- Опубликовано: 9 май 2021
- Buon giorno a tutti! In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), shares another 'Cucina Povera' (humble kitchen) dish. Southern Italy, post war, was not a particularly buoyant time, so people creatively worked with what they had to create tasty and nutritious meals. This humble dish joins the ranks of pasta e pisselli (peas), pasta e fagioli (beans) and pasta e ceci (chickpeas), to name just a few.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds of fresh broccoli
- 1 pound of short cut pasta (Nonna uses ditali)
- 4 TBSP of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 3 garlic cloves- hot chilies (to taste)
- 1 tsp of anchovies
- 1/3 grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- salt and pepper (to taste)
First, cut the broccoli into smaller pieces, including the stalk. Nonna suggests you not waste anything. You just remove the tough skin and cut the stalk into small pieces. Give the broccoli pieces a good wash and drain.
Add 4 TBSP of EVOO into a cold pan/pot and 3 garlic cloves, finely sliced and a pinch of hot chilies (or more if you prefer heat). Add in a tsp of anchovies, and allow to melt into the oil. With medium-low heat, the flavours will infuse into the oil, which is what you want to achieve. Then you add in the broccoli, turn up the heat and add in 3 cups of water, in intervals. Overall, the broccoli will stew about 20 minutes.
Once very tender, you want to break some of the pieces up with your wooden spoon as it helps to create a creamier texture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Concurrently, put a well-salted pot on the boil for the pasta. Cook it just a minute less than instructed, because the pasta will finish cooking once combined. Stain the pasta, however reserve about 2 cups of the pasta-water.Stir in the pasta into the broccoli mixture, and add back about 2 cups of pasta-water.
The quantity you add back, depends on how soupy you like your dish. If you like more broth, you will want to add more pasta water.
Turn the heat off, and sprinkle in about 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Plate, drizzle some EVVO, sprinkle more cheese, and enjoy!
Buon appetito!

Yum I love pasta with broccoli! My family is from Calabria also and my Mom always made pasta con broccoli but she added some tomato sauce to hers. I make it all the time and it is so delicious. I will definitely try your version. You need to make a cookbook so we have all your wonderful recipes in one place 🥰
Cara Rose - you are so sweet! Thank so much. I do dream of having a cook book. God-willing, some day I will. I really appreciate hearing from you, and love that your Mom made this dish too. I found with many dishes, we have a red and a white version, red by adding some tomato sauce. Both are delicious. Sending you love and hugs bella. xox
