2 tbsp. minced garlic
3 flat anchovy fillets, chopped
1/4 tsp. dried hot red pepper

In a large heavy skillet cook the garlic, the anchovies and the red pepper flakes in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the garlic is golden. Add the broccoli and the parsley and cook the mixture, stirring until it is heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve the sauce immediately.
