Spaghetti with purple sprouting broccoli, garlic and chilli
I wouldn’t claim that there’s anything remotely original about this recipe. It’s just very, very nice for one. Or two. Or four, come to that. My brother Johnny, a long-time resident of Rome, likes to make it using a variety … Continue reading
