This recipe celebrates the simplicity of Mediterranean cooking, where just a few quality ingredients create perfect balance. Romanesco broccoli, with its buttery texture, coats the pasta to form a natural creamy sauce, contrasted by the bold, savory flavor of olives. A rustic, honest dish.

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet with the garlic clove and chili pepper. Once the broccoli is ready, transfer it to the skillet, add the olives and anchovies. Remove the garlic and increase the heat slightly to let the vegetables absorb the aromatic oil.
