Rotini With Artichoke, Smoked Salmon, And Anchovies
- 1 pound rotini pasta
- 1 to 2 pounds broccoli/kale, cut to small florets/pieces
- 4 tablespoons oil from bottled anchovies, halve
- 1 onion, dice
- 8 ounces carrot, chop/shred finely in food chopper
- 5 pieces anchovy fillets, cut to 1/2" length
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 to 2 cups artichokes, cut to eights
- 12 ounces (1 pack) smoked salmon, cut to around 1x1 inch
- In a large pot, cook the pasta following the package instruction (I usually skip the salt). On 5 minutes mark before the pasta is done, stir in broccoli and cover the pot. Continue cooking until the pasta is al-dente. Drain.
- Set the pasta and broccoli aside . Stir in 2 tbsp of anchovy oil to keep them from sticking to each other.
- In the same pot, heat up 2 tbsp anchovy oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until wilted and start to caramelized. Add carrots and stir until the carrots soften a bit, around 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in Parmesan, tarragon, thyme, balsamic vinegar, and pepper. Stir in the pasta, broccoli, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off heat, then stir in anchovies.
- If you want to serve everything right away, stir in smoked salmon and serve. Otherwise, keep the salmon aside. When heating up: after you heat up the pasta for serving, stir in the smoked salmon (otherwise the salmon will be cooked through).
