Step-by-step
- Pre-heat the oven to 190°C (375°F/gas mark 5).
- Set a medium-sized heavy-based pan over a medium heat.
- Heat the olive oil. Throw in the garlic, chilli, rosemary and anchovies.
- Fry until the garlic takes on a little colour – a golden tinge around its edges.
- Add the wine, boil for a few seconds and add the cream.
- Bring to a simmer and turn the heat down. Reduce this sauce until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Blanch the purple sprouting broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute before straining through a colander. Allow to steam dry.
- Lay the broccoli in an ovenproof dish, pour or spoon over the cream sauce and finally scatter over the parmesan.
- Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes until golden and bubbling.
