Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for serving
  • A few sprigs rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 100 g green olives, stoned
  • 700 g cauliflower and broccoli florets
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 250 g fusilli pasta
  • 1 cup Parmesan, grated, plus extra for serving

Cooking Instructions

Gently heat the olive oil with a sprig or two of rosemary, the crushed garlic and olives. Add the cauliflower and broccoli and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes until just cooked. Pour over the stock and simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender. Season to taste.

Cook’s note: Glam up this dish by adding a few chopped anchovies or torn sliced chorizo.
