https://easyhomemaderecipes.caGrowing up Italian, Pasta with Anchovies was one of the dishes served on Christmas Eve. Anchovy fillets are definitely an acquired taste and one of the most loved ingredients by Italians worldwide.If you like that salty bite of anchovies, try my recipe for Crispelle Fritters with Anchovies or my easy Pizza Dough recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 oz anchovy fillets
- 4 tbsp breadcrumbs unseasoned
- 14 oz pasta spaghetti works best
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 sprigs parsley fined chopped
Instructions
- In a medium sized frypan, heat up olive oil and butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add anchovies and allow them to sizzle, reduce heat to low and once they start to come apart. Add breadcrumbs and take the pan and remove it from the burner.
- Boil and salt pasta as per preparation directions on the box.
- Once the pasta is al dente, return the frypan to the burner and scoop the spaghetti from the pot into the frypan with the anchovy sauce and mix so that the oil, garlic, breadcrumbs and anchovies are well incorporated into the pasta.
- Add pasta water if the pasta becomes sticky. Serve immediately with more breadcrumbs and parsley (optional). Top with parmesan cheese.
Notes
Top Tips
Cook pasta al dente for best experience. Add pasta water if the pasta becomes sticky. Because this type of past gets clumpy real quick, serve it immediately topped with parmesan cheese.Nutrition
