Sicilian Anchovy Spaghetti
Ingredients
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup fine bread crumbs
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with water and adding a moderate amount of salt. Place the pot on high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
2
Once the water has reached its boiling point, carefully add your chosen pasta shape and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches the desired level of firmness. Use a strainer to drain the cooked pasta.
3
Simultaneously, heat a moderate amount of olive oil in a mid-sized cooking vessel over medium temperature. Add the anchovies and garlic, then cook and stir constantly until the anchovies release their flavorful oils and the garlic becomes aromatic, approximately 2 minutes.
4
Mix in some bread crumbs to add texture and turn off the heat source. Add a handful of chopped parsley and a few grinds of pepper to enhance the flavors.
5
Combine the savory sauce made from anchovies, garlic, and bread crumbs with the hot pasta. Sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese on top to complete your dish; serve.
