In this easy pasta recipe, a touch of anchovy makes healthy spaghetti with broccoli really delicious. To make it a meal, assemble an arugula salad tossed with lemon vinaigrette while the pasta sauce is cooking.

Very tasty, filling but wrong calorie count?
I made this dinner tonight and it was really good. Very easy and quick to prepare and it tasted a lot better than I thought it would. One problem, the calories for this seemed off to me so I added the calories of all the ingredients myself and I came up with 335 calories per 1 2/3 cup. Is the count wrong or am I missing something?
Pros: Easy, fast, filling, tasty, flavorful
Cons: Wrong calorie count?
