- Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water (with a few drops of oil added to keep it separate) for 8 min exactly then drain in a colander and cold it under cool running water until quite cool.
- Then drain again.
- Now cut the broccoli heads down to individual florets no bigger than a 10p piece and steam them (covered) over boiling water for a maximum of 5 min probably less (they must retain a good deal of bite so dont go away and forget about them).
