Imagine what the salty tang of anchovies does for Caesar salad, and you'll understand the draw of this classic Italian combination. Try it alongside a holiday roast or pasta dish.

How to Make It

Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 425°. Trim leaves from broccolini if you like (for a tidier look). Put broccolini on 2 large rimmed baking sheets.

Step 2
2

Combine 3 tbsp. oil with the salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Drizzle over broccolini and turn until well coated. Roast, switching pan positions and turning broccolini with tongs halfway through cooking, until browned at edges, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat remaining 3 tbsp. oil and 1/4 tsp. pepper with the garlic and anchovies in a 12-in. frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is soft but not browned (reduce heat if needed), 12 to 15 minutes.
