Instructions

1. 1 Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes; drain and set aside.
2. 2 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
3. 3 At the same time, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly saute anchovies, onions, and garlic, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Mash the anchovies a bit to help them dissolve to create a paste. Add broccoli and begin to saute over medium heat, stirring often to avoid burning. Cook evenly until softened, about 10 minutes. Break up large florets as soon as they softens; ideally, you want bite-sized florets. Add ladles of the pasta water to the skillet as needed to keep the broccoli from burning.
4. 4 Add a ladle of pasta water to a small bowl, add the saffron threads, and allow to melt. Add to the broccoli. Mash some of the smaller florets to help create a creamy sauce. Add the pine nuts, raisins, and cinnamon. Stir often.
5. 5 Drain cooked pasta, reserving the pasta water. Stir pasta into the skillet. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup bread crumbs and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat, adding a few tablespoons of pasta water if necessary. Drizzle remaining oil and 2 tablespoons bread crumbs over the top and add black pepper. Serve hot.

6. 6 Place dough sheet on a lightly floured surface; cut out 4 to 5-inch circles using a cutter or large glass.
7. 7 Lightly dust dough circles with flour. This will help you later in removing the shells from the tubes. Roll dough around cannoli tubes, sealing edges with a bit of egg white. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
8. 8 Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry shells on the tubes in hot oil, a few at a time, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes; turn as needed using tongs. Remove shells carefully using tongs; place on a cooling rack set over paper towels.
9. 9 Cool just long enough that you can handle the tubes, then carefully twist tubes to remove shells. Using a tea towel may help you get a better grip. Wash or wipe off the tubes; use them for more shells. Place cooled shells in an airtight container for up to 2 months. You should only fill them up to 1 hour before serving.
10. 10 Mix ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a large bowl until well combined; fold in chocolate and lemon zest.
11. 11 Transfer filling mixture to a pastry bag; pipe into shells, filling from the center to one end, then repeating on the other side. Dust with confectioners' sugar to serve, if you like.
12. 12 Enjoy!
