Chili-Flecked Linguine with Broccoli, Anchovies, and Garlic
  1. 1

    Position an oven rack about 8 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler. Toss the broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt in a bowl, then spread it on a large baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Broil in the preheated oven until the broccoli is tender and starting to brown.

  3. 3

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine at a boil until slightly firm, about 11 minutes.

  4. 4

    Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until the anchovies melt into the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with pepper. Stir in the roasted broccoli.

  5. 5

    Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the broccoli-anchovy mixture and mix well. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top.
