Cut chilli in half lengthwise, remove seeds, then thinly slice widthwise. Finely chop anchovies, if using, then peel and finely chop garlic with 1 teaspoon salt.

Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until fat from salami is rendered. Add cabbage and toss for 2 minutes or until slightly wilted. Remove pan from heat.
- Step 3Using a Chinese wire spoon or small sieve, scoop up pasta and add to frying pan. Add broccoli to pasta cooking water and cook for 2 minutes or until just tender. Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley leaves and stems.

Notes
Top tip: Sopressa is an Italian aged salami, from supermarkets.
For a vegetarian alternative, omit the salami and anchovies and add the flavoursome broccoli stems; just peel them first.
