Melted Broccoli Sauce

• 2-3 heads broccoli (florets removed, stems saved)
• 5 anchovy filets
• 3 hot peppers, like Thai (seeds removed, julienned)
• 6 cloves garlic (sliced)
• 4 small onion (diced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• Fresh pasta
• 1/2 - 3/4 cups reserved pasta water
• Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Drop in broccoli florets and stems to blanch, for about 5 minutes, or until bright green. Remove from water and drain.
2. In a large saute pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, hot peppers and anchovies and cook until anchovies are melted, about 5 minutes. Yes, they melt away to nothing but salty goodness. Add some salt and pepper.
3. Add the white wine to the sauce and bring to a slow simmer. When simmering, reduce heat to low. Add broccoli, salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
4. Cover the pan and cook for about 2 hours, stirring only occasionally. The broccoli will break down quite a bit, so help it along when stirring by smashing a little. You want it to turn into a sauce.
5. Cook your pasta just when the sauce is finishing up (I made homemade pasta, but dry pasta can also be used). Ladle about 1 cup of pasta water into the broccoli sauce. Finish the dish by adding the pasta straight to the pan with the sauce. Toss to coat.
6. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and some additional fresh cracked pepper.
