1 bunch broccoli, about 1 1/4 lbs.
Salt to taste if desired
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. finely minced garlic
1/4 tsp. dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tsp. anchovy paste

Cut off the broccoli tops into individual florets. Cut the stems crosswise into 2-inch lengths. Trim off the outside of the stems and ut the trimmed pieces diagonally into 1/4 inch slices. There should be about 6 cups in all.

Bring enough water to a boil to cover the broccoli when it is added. Add salt and the broccoli pieces. Cook 3 minutes; drain.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, over relatively high heat and add the garlic, pepper flakes, and anchovy paste. Cook, tossing and stirring the ingredients together, about 1 minute. Serves 4.
