Spaghetti and Anchovies Recipe
Known in Italian as "Spaghetti con Acciughe," this recipe is quick, easy and oh, so good. A classic Neapolitan dish, Spaghetti and Anchovies is a great way to get your anchovy fix for the day.
directions:
1. Fillet and soak anchovies. Mince 6 of the anchovies, and chop the remaining six coarsely. Set aside.
2. Cook pasta in plenty of boiling water until "al dente" - about 10 minutes.
3. While pasta is boiling, put olive oil, garlic, minced anchovies, and chili flakes in a deep-sided frying pan or pot, and saute over low heat until anchovies are "dissolved." Stir in parsley and remaining anchovies and turn off heat.
4. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Transfer pasta into the pan containing the anchovy sauce and toss until pasta is well coated. Add some reserved cooking water if pasta seems dry. Put 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs aside. Add remaining bread crumbs to pasta, and toss again.
5. Sprinkle remaining breadcrumb on top before serving.
