My cooking is global with some emphasis on Japanese cooking. Made all the recipes with starred rating. You can also find me at eatyourbooks.com cooking from cookbooks, online recipes, magazines and recipes from here.

About 1 cup fresh bread crumbs. (These are optional, but I think you should use them because they add a nice crunch.)

About ¾ cup mild tasting olive oil

About 12 ounces broccoli, trimmed, with a few inches of stem intact

About 12 ounces cauliflower, leaves removed and stem end trimmed

Salt

1 generous tablespoon capers, rinsed, pressed dry between two towels, and slightly chopped

1 pound penne, spaghetti, orcchiette, fusilli, or medium shells

4 to 6 anchovy fillets chopped (Optional. I am an anchovy freak and added more anchovy and dumped the olive oil from the can into the vegetable mixture. Definitely not for everyone, but I loved it.)

6 small garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

About ½ teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly pounded in a mortar (I left this out.)

4 to 8 pinches dried chili flakes

1 tablespoon coarsely chopped, flat-leaf parsley (Left this out too.)

4 to 5 tablespoons coarsely chopped pitted black olives

Pecorino romano cheese for serving (I added this and it was perfect with it.)
