Orecchiette Con I Broccoli
- 14 tablespoon raisins, plumped in warm water
- 1 lb broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 12 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 anchovy fillets, mashed to a pulp
- 14 cup pine nuts
- salt and pepper
- 1 lb pasta (please see above for ideas)
- 12 cup grated pecorino cheese
- Cook broccoli in boiling water for about 3 minutes then drain and set aside.
- Menwhile, saute onion in 1/4 cup of the oil until soft.
- Add the drained broccoli and the drained raisins and stir into the onions.
- Cook on low-med flame for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta in boiling water as directed on package, until al dente.
- Add the pine nuts to the broccoli mixture and just before draining the pasta add the anchovies.
- Don't add them any sooner because they will give the dish a fishy taste if overcooked.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Be careful with the salt because the anchovies and the cheese might be enough for some people, it is for me.
- Lower flame to a low light, just to keep it warm.
- Drain pasta and add to broccoli mixture and toss well.
- Either pass cheese at the table or toss it in as well (thats what I do).
