This simple anchovy spaghetti with broccoli and breadcrumbs dish is THE pasta recipe in my arsenal. It’s tasty enough to make for friends (and I do often), but quick enough to whip up on a weeknight. If you’re nervous about the anchovies, don’t be. They’re dissolved into a garlicky soffritto that adds a meaty, funky sophistication that you’ll want to keep tasting.

Looks amazing. Yum!
Omg! I have the same ingredients ready to make something marvelous. Except fresh chili, fresh squash. Thanks for the inspiration!
To me that is absolute heaven, wish me luck finding those breadcumbs though
bummer, the link to the pan is outdated. dish looks awesome!
Good/interesting video. That kitchen is suspiciously too clean..
Hey just FYI, the link provided to your nonstick pan is dead
piquant is pronounced like PEE CONT or PEE CONTAY IN SPANISH!
Awesome recipe … going to try it on the wife who will not like if she knows, ya know!!!! I assume you only made a single serving here for obvious reasons and therefore a four or six serving all in the same pan works? Also … how long do you think the garlic/anchovy mix will last refrigerated? Love your channel … my wife and I watch regularly. Thank you!!!
I've seen this dish, similar, many times, but your take on is next level. Just the right extra technique to make it over the top! As delicious as it must have been on its own, those crunchy nutty bread crumbs are essential!
This is tonight's dinner. I'll let you know how it comes out.
so much bloody talking. Its a simple dish in the talking, but what an effort in cooking terms. Better recipes full of flavour. Check out Nigella for the best anhovy pasta dishes.
3 cans!?
Nothing better than a night with great tasting simple food shared with a bunch of your besties☺
In my experience no one likes anchovies if you tell them they're eating anchovies but if you serve them something with anchovies in it they love it
Don't rinse the Anchovies, save the oil. Your ruining the umami of the dish.
Looks good! P.S. Why do you wipe the pan after each frying? Olive oil out, olive oil in…
Thanks!
Im late to the party, but I just tried this tonight and it was EXCELLENT
Great recipe but why wash the anchovies just use less salt in the rest of the dish
BriGuy, Love all of your videos. No ill will intended. What was up with the bug at 6:25? He/she/they, hung out until 6:40 when I guess the water got to hot. Doesn't matter to me, just saying. This from a guy that ate a large spider, by accident, as a kid… Keep up the great work!
