   Pop your broccoli into the boiling water and cook it for 4 minutes . Lift it straight out of the pot with a slotted spoon, and get it in a bowl of iced water. This will keep it green, and stop it from cooking.

   Tip in your garlic , anchovy and chilli flakes , then cook for 2 minutes , squishing down the anchovy into a paste as you go.

   Bring your broccoli water pan back up to a boil, then tip in your pasta . Cook it until it is al dente.
7. 7

   Drain your broccoli from its iced water. Tip the broccoli into the pan, along with a good splash of water. Cook this down over a low heat for 5 minutes , squishing up the broccoli with your wooden spoon to break it down.

   When your pasta is done, lift this into the pan with your slotted spoon. Add some pasta water, your hard cheese and your lemon zest, then give it a good mix. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
