  1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the garlic and chilli and cook gently for about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli to the pasta pan for the last 3 minutes of cooking then drain (keep 2-3 tbsp cooking water back). Tip the pasta and broccoli into the garlic oil with the reserved liquid and stir well. Serve sprinkled with toasted pine nuts.

    Test the chillies for heat - half would be more than enough in Italy, and add a good sprinkling of parmesan at the table.
