Pasta with broccoli and capers - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, if you don't like anchovies or don't have any, you can omit them. For a similar savory, umami flavor, try a teaspoon of soy sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
Simply omit the anchovies. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika to enhance the flavor. Consider adding a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy, umami taste.
Properly stored in an airtight container, leftover pasta with broccoli and capers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Yes, you can freeze this dish, although the texture of the broccoli may change slightly. Allow the pasta to cool completely, then store it in an airtight, freezer-safe container. It's best consumed within 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly.
Yes, frozen broccoli florets can be used. Add them directly to the pan in Step 5. You may need to cook them slightly longer to ensure they are tender.
Feel free to experiment! Other vegetables that would work well include sauteed spinach, kale, roasted red peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes.
