Step 1

Boil the pasta according to pack instructions, and add the broccoli for the final 2 minutes, until both are al dente.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a frying pan with 2 tbsp olive oil and place over a medium-high heat. Add the bread and toast it, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp – the larger pieces will still be soft in the middle, and that’s perfect.

Step 3

Remove the crumbs to a plate, wipe out the pan, then place it back over a medium heat. Add the anchovies and their oil, with the garlic and chilli, if using. Fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the garlic is fragrant and the anchovies melt into the oil. Once the pasta is ready, drain, reserving a cup of cooking water.

Tip the pasta and broccoli into the anchovy pan with the lemon juice, a large splash of reserved cooking water and the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Stir together over the heat for 2 minutes until well coated. Serve scattered with the breadcrumbs and lemon zest.
