Italian Inn Spaghetti With Anchovies Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Follow package directions, add the spaghetti so that it is ready just as the tomatoes are cooked.
• Pour two tablespoons of the olive oil into a large, flameproof casserole or heavy saute pan. Lay out the anchovy fillets, side by side, in the oil and place the pan on the lowest possible heat. The anchovies will melt in the warm oil, they should not fry.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, warm the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the garlic cloves and when they begin to sizzle but before they brown, add tomatoes and salt to taste. Be careful not to burn garlic. Toss the tomatoes until their liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes; the tomatoes should not cook to a puree. Add the olives and empty the frying pan into the pan with the anchovies.
• Grind over some pepper and stir in the basil.
• Drain the spaghetti and add the anchovy sauce. Toss together with a fork and spoon.
• Serve in heated pasta dishes or soup plates, accompanied with a dish of Parmesan and a dish of butter to add as desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a low heat and fry the garlic for 2-3 mins, or until just turning golden at the edges. Remove from the heat and leave for 15 mins for the garlic to infuse in the oil.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 150ml of the cooking water. Remove the garlic from the infused oil, then tip in the cooked spaghetti, the chillies, anchovies, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and the parmesan. Add 50ml of the reserved water and toss with tongs until combined. Add a little more water to loosen, if you like. Season. Divide between four shallow bowls.

Steps:

• Begin heating a large pot of water over high heat. Meanwhile, lightly toast the walnuts on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven for just a few minutes until fragrant, or in a pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When the walnuts smell like they're beginning to toast, remove them from the heat and transfer to a clean dish towel. Wrap them in the towel, and rub between your hands to remove some of the papery shells. Chop the nuts medium-fine, and set aside.
• In a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan large enough to accommodate the cooked spaghetti, heat the oil over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until it begins to sizzle, and add the anchovies. Cook, mashing the anchovies with the back of your spoon or with a fork, for about 30 seconds until they begin to fall apart and melt into the oil. Add the walnuts, stir together for about a minute and remove from the heat.
• When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente, following the timing recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is almost done, add 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan with the walnuts and anchovies, and reheat over medium heat.
• When the pasta is ready, drain and toss with the walnut and anchovy mixture. Add the parsley, adjust salt if necessary and add pepper. Serve, passing the pecorino at the table.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy small skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add anchovies and cook until garlic just begins to color, 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Return spaghetti to pot. Add oil mixture and lemon juice and toss to coat. Season with pepper. Divide between plates. Sprinkle generously with parsley. Serve, passing Parmesan separately if desired.
