Mediterranean pasta with vegetables and anchovies.
Clean the turnip tops removing a part of the stalk. Wash them under running water and cut them in chunks.
Cook the "orecchiette" in plenty of salted water together with the turnip tops; drain everything "al dente". Meanwhile heat the oil with the anchovies in a frying pan; pour in the "orecchiette" and greens. Stir with a wooden spoon and sauté for some minutes.
Sprinkle with "Pecorino" cheese (if liked) and pepper.
Serve hot.
