Garlic Spaghetti with Chicken, Broccoli & Breadcrumbs

It’s day two of term 4, I can’t believe it’s almost the end of our first school year! I really feel the need to get into a bit of routine and slow down my crazy busy life, but we are only back at school for 2 weeks before we head off on our road trip to Port Hedland. So instead, I am even crazier and busier trying to get everything ready for that and get as much work done before we head off. Its also Sam’s birthday this weekend so I will be spending the next few days baking, what plans to be, a treasure chest cake. If it works, I will post on here. (if you don’t see it on here, then don’t ask ha ha)

This is a variation of my Spaghetti + Broccoli + Tuna + Breadcrumbs and is an easy recipe using leftover roast chicken. The toasted breadcrumbs really take this recipe to another level

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 220°C. Cut broccoli into florets, peel and dice the stalk. Spread evenly on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and season with salt. Roast for 20 mins, turning halfway.

Put water on for the pasta.

In a large, high sided fry pan add 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add the ingredients for the crumb and reduce heat immediately to low. Stir while allowing the crumb to toast lightly. Once golden and crispy set aside, and wipe clean the fry pan.

Add 2 tbsp oil to the pan over med-low heat and add the garlic. Let it soften without browning. Add the anchovies and stir until they have dissolved. Leave pan on low to keep warm.

Cook pasta as per packet instructions.

Add the broccoli and chicken to the fry pan, toss to coat, then the pasta with a splash of the pasta water. Mix through half the crumb and lemon juice.

Serve immediately topped with remaining crumb.
