Spent the whole day writing, so decided would do pasta. This was good - I was able to recylcle the stew from last night - with a bit of extra fresh tomato and shredding the beef, and mashing the carrot and shallot it came out rather like a good bolognese sauce. In deference to my veggie diet, I ate a pile of broccoli, mixed with mashed anchovy and chili mixed in with the pasta.
This is a version of the more elegant orecchie con broccoli - a favourite Sicilian dish, which is now fairly well known. It involves frying chopped garlic in olive oil, adding chili flakes, several anchovies, chopped. When the anchovies are melted, mix this with nicely cooked broccoli, pour on to the freshly cooked orecchie (conchiglie are a good substitute). You do not normally put cheese on this dish, unless you are doing this recipe from supermarket magazine, in which case you probably also have to include capers, basil and pink peppercorns...but don't!
