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.

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.
