Whole wheat spaghetti with anchovies and broccoli rabe

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • ● 250 grams fresh whole wheat spaghetti
  • ● 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ● 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • ● 5 anchovy filets chopped
  • ● 1 chili pepper chopped (or 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes)
  • ● 1 bunch broccoli rabe coarsely chopped
  • ● 2 tbsp butter cut into small cubes
  • ● Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to
    the boil, cook spaghetti to desired doneness.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, heat
    olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add garlic and anchovies and
    cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe and continue to
    cook, tossing often until the broccoli rabe is soft, about 4 minutes. Add chili
    and remove from heat.
  • Once pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup
    of cooking liquid and then add drained pasta to the pan with broccoli rabe and
    return to medium-high heat. Add cubed butter and reserved pasta water 1/4 cup
    at a time, tossing pasta often until a light sauce forms. Season to taste with
    salt and pepper and serve.
