Jock Zonfrillo Instagram – My ultimate Summer pasta salad recipe! This is THE recipe if you have lots of half jars of @alwaysfreshau olives and antipasto kicking around – the quantities or even types don’t need to be the same as mine. It’s a good one to make in advance, to serve hot or cold, or to make spicy – all completely up to you!

CRUNCHY SUMMER PASTA SALAD
INGREDIENTS
130g pasta
2 x small garlic cloves
25g pine nuts
80g @alwaysfreshau Olive Oil & Sea Salt Crustini
110g Broccoli di rapa (broccolini will also work)
3 x Anchovy Fillets
1 x 100g Pitted Sicilian Olives
1 x 230g jar Artichoke Hearts
1 x 50g Capers
1 lemon, zest and juice
Dried red chilli
70g taleggio
EVOO
METHOD
Cook your pasta for 2-minutes less than the packet says, drain and set aside.
For the pangrattato, add oil to a pan until hot, then add a finely diced clove of garlic and your pine nuts. Cook on a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until light brown. Next, crush up your crustini with your hands and add it to the pan. Mix through then take off the heat and set aside in a bowl.
Put your pan back on a medium heat and add oil. When it’s heated up, add a smashed whole clove of peeled garlic and the chopped stems of your broccoli di rapa and mix through until it starts to wilt. Then add your anchovy fillets, Sicilian olives, artichoke hearts and capers, and stir on medium heat for a few minutes. Now you can add your broccoli leaves – tear up and mix through. Then add the zest of one whole lemon and mix through.
Remove the clove of garlic and discard. Put ⅔ of the ingredients from the pan into a blender, add half of the artichoke brine from the jar, the juice of half a lemon, a touch of dried red chilli, and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Put the pasta into a mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients from your pan, all of your blended sauce, your pangrattato and your taleggio, and mix thoroughly. You can either add the juice from the other half of the lemon, or cut up and put on the side for people to add themselves. If it feels too thick, add some artichoke brine, lemon juice, or pasta water. | Posted on 21/Feb/2023 13:40:00
