Separate the broccoli rabe or tender broccoli into large pieces.
Bring salted water to a boil in a wide pot and add the pasta.
During the last 6 minutes of the pasta cooking time, add the greens to the same water.
Turn the garlic, anchovy fillets, and red pepper flakes in olive oil over low heat for 3 minutes.
Drain the pasta and greens, reserving half a ladle of the cooking water.
Add the pasta mixture to the pan and bind the sauce with the cooking water for 2 minutes.
Check the salt and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Blanch the greens briefly in the same water as the pasta; long boiling in a separate pot dulls the color and reduces how well the sauce clings.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pasta on hot plates, with optional lemony arugula salad and sparkling mineral water.
