Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Spaghetti
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 fillets Anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté gently until it turns golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the chopped anchovy fillets and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing them to dissolve into the oil.
Add the red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Toss the drained spaghetti into the skillet, ensuring it is well coated in the garlicky oil.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, to help loosen the sauce and coat the pasta evenly.
Stir in the chopped parsley and season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
