Steps
- 1
Gather all your ingredients.
- 2
Cut the Romanesco broccoli into evenly sized florets. Place them in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for about 8–10 minutes, until the tips are still intact and firm to the bite.
- 3
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.
- 4
Cook the mezze maniche pasta in plenty of salted water. Drain when al dente, reserving some of the cooking water.
- 5
Add the pasta to the skillet, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and add a tablespoon of the reserved cooking water. Toss quickly to evenly coat the pasta with the sauce.
