Giuliano Bugiallis Spaghetti Con Broccoli Spaghetti With Broccoli Recipes

CUNETTO'S SPAGHETTI CON BROCCOLI (ACTUAL RECIPE)

Steps:

• Combine cream, butter, broccoli, mushrooms, parsley and seasonings in a sauce pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
• Increase the heat of the cream sauce slightly and bring to a boil.
• When cream sauce boils, add cooked and drained spaghetti noodles to the sauce.
• Reduce over medium heat until cream sauce clings to the spaghetti.
• Remove from heat and toss in parmesan cheese, a little at a time until desired sauce consistency is achieved.

SKILLET BROCCOLI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Thinly slice the garlic and transfer to a large (12-inch) skillet with high sides. Cut the florets off the broccoli, keeping as much of the branch connected to the trunk as possible. Peel the trunk and cut the trunk and branches into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to the skillet. Roughly chop the florets so even the biggest pieces fit on a soup spoon. Leave the florets on the cutting board.
• To the skillet, add the butter and anchovies, and set over medium-high. Cook, smashing the anchovies and stirring the butter, until the garlic and broccoli are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the spaghetti, the florets and any broccoli bits on the board, 2 teaspoons salt and the red-pepper flakes. Pour over 5 cups water. Bring to a boil over high, then cook, tossing often with tongs, until the spaghetti is al dente, 8 to 12 minutes. If the pasta is looking dry, add more water. Eat with grated Parmesan, if using.

GIULIANO BUGIALLI'S SPAGHETTI CON BROCCOLI (SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI)

Steps:

• Remove and discard large tough stems from broccoli and cut the remainder into thick julienne strips, about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Soak the pieces in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
• Bring 4 quarts water to the boil. Add salt to taste. Add broccoli pieces to boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain broccoli, saving the cooking water. Place broccoli in a large warmed serving dish and set aside, covered, in a warm place.
• Bring the broccoli water back to a boil, add pasta and stir with a long- handled wooden fork or spoon to separate pasta and bring water rapidly back to the boil. Cover and cook pasta until done.
• While pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. If using salted anchovies, fillet them and wash well, draining on paper towels. Heat olive oil in a heavy enamel or aluminum saucepan over low heat. When the oil is hot, remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the filleted anchovies and the red pepper flakes. Use a fork to mash them into the oil until amalgamated.
• Drain pasta and place in serving dish on top of the broccoli. Pour the anchovy sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and toss gently but very well. Serve immediately.
