Notes
Broccoli: I like using tenderstem broccoli but regular is fine too. Cut into small pieces
Crème fraîche: I tend to use the half fat crème fraîche as I can't tell the difference and it's a lighter option. Either is fine
Dill: This is one of the only herbs where I think fresh is much better. If you can get it, it kind of makes this dish. Some supermarkets sell it frozen too and I like to keep a bag in the freezer for this. Dried is just OK if you have to - it's better than nothing! Just use 1 tsp if using dried
Capers: If you have any capers in the fridge or cupboard, they add an extra ZING to this dish and take it up a notch
Peas or petit pois: Just add these when you add the broccoli to the pasta water if you fancy some extra vegetables
Pasta water: Reserve a little water before draining so you can add a little to make a smoother, looser sauce if it's needed
