Anchovy Garlic Pasta Food

MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVY, CAPERS AND RED PEPPER

Steps:

• Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
• While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
• Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Set a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it.
• Put half of the olive oil in a deep skillet, and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic and the anchovies. When the garlic sizzles and the anchovies break up, turn the heat to its lowest setting.
• Cook the pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid, and drain. Add pasta and arugula to skillet, along with enough of the reserved cooking water to make a sauce. Turn heat to medium, and stir for a minute. Add salt and pepper to taste, plus a pinch or more of red pepper flakes.
• Turn pasta and sauce into a bowl, toss with remaining olive oil and serve.

PASTA WITH 15-MINUTE GARLIC, OIL, AND ANCHOVY SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook spaghettini in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain, reserving 3 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, cook anchovies, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 cup oil, and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until anchovies dissolve and garlic is tender, 6-7 minutes (do not brown). Stir in parsley, then remove from heat.
• While anchovy sauce is cooking, heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium. Add panko and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to paper towels to cool.
• Return pasta to pot. Stir in reserved pasta cooking liquid, then anchovy sauce and half of the panko mixture. Cook over medium, stirring constantly, until heated through, 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with Parmesan and remaining panko mixture.

PANTRY PASTA WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVIES, AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
• Meanwhile, cook garlic and 1/4 cup oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, about 4 minutes. Add anchovies (if using) and red pepper flakes and cook, smashing anchovies with a wooden spoon to break them up, until anchovies begin to dissolve, about 1 minute.
• Add 1 1/4 cups pasta cooking liquid along with 1 cup Parmesan to pot with anchovies and garlic and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Using tongs, add pasta to pot, then add butter and lots of black pepper. Cook, tossing energetically and adding more cooking liquid if needed, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
• Divide pasta among bowls; drizzle with oil and top with more Parmesan.

AMALFI LEMON, CHILLI & ANCHOVY SPAGHETTI

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.

QUICK ANCHOVY AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• 1/2 pound pasta for 2 generous servings.
• Prepare the sauce while the pasta water is boiling.
• I like to use vermicelli.
• In a small skillet melt the butter.
• Add minced garlic.
• Cook until golden brown until it smells toasted.
• Do not let it scorch or it will taste bitter.
• When the garlic is golden brown, add the entire can of anchovies, including oil and the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Cook and stir until the anchovies dissolve.
• If the pasta is not cooked yet, turn off the heat.
• When the pasta is cooked, finish the sauce.
• Add light cream to the sauce, and cook until it comes to a rolling boil.
• Pour over the well drained pasta and toss vigorously.
• Serve with parmesan cheese.

ANCHOVY AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• In an ovenproof dish mix together tomatoes, anchovies, garlic, basil, oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and tomato paste. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Anchovies and tomatoes should be soft and easily broken down with a spoon.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted water, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
• Mash tomato mixture with a potato masher and mix in reserved cooking pasta water. Taste and season with more salt if required (add only a pinch or two at a time).
• Toss noodles in sauce. Serve with additional finely chopped basil and parmesan cheese if desired.

MARK BITTMAN'S PASTA WITH GARLIC, TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it for the pasta -- you should be able to make the entire recipe as the pasta cooks.
• Put olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add garlic and chilies, if using -- cook garlic so it bubbles gently.
• When it is lightly browned all over, add anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute, until anchovies begin to fall apart, then add tomatoes.
• Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
• Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary (taste first because the anchovies can contribute plenty of salt).
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. When it is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Serve pasta with sauce and parsley.

SPICY PASTA WITH BROCCOLI, ANCHOVY, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Toss broccoli in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt; spread on a large baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until broccoli is tender and beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until anchovies dissolve into the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with pepper. Mix in roasted broccoli.
• Drain pasta and return to the pot. Add broccoli-anchovy mixture and mix well. Drizzle remaining olive oil on top.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES (PASTA C'ANCIOVA E MUDDICA)

Steps:

• Slice the bread.
• Remove the crust.
• Using a cook knife, chop the bread to make breadcrumbs. The aim is to obtain roughly chopped breadcrumbs, of uneven size and shape. This will give the dish its final rustic appeal! (do not use the food processor).
• After 5 minutes chopping, your breadcrumbs should be, more or less, like this.The preparation of the anchovy sauce is very quick so I suggest you fill, just now, a large pan with approximately 4 litres (1 gallon + 5/8 cup) of water and add salt (10 g for each litre of water - 1/3 ounce for every 4 1/8 cups of water). While you are bringing the water to the boil, do as follows.
• Cut the anchovy fillets in small pieces, crush the garlic with the large blade of a knife, roughly chop the parsley and cut the chilli into rings (discarding the seeds).
• To prepare the sauce, take a large sauce pan and gently infuse the oil with the garlic (crushed), on low heat, until the garlic become golden in colour. Tilting the pan will allow you to better infuse the oil and it is less likely that the garlic become burned.
• When the garlic is golden in colour, remove it from the pan and discard the garlic.
• Meanwhile the water to boil the pasta should be ready (fast boiling). Quickly throw the pasta into the pan and carry on with the anchovy sauce. From here, check your time because you will have roughly 10 minutes to complete the sauce.
• Add the anchovy into the sauce pan.
• Stir to help in dissolving the anchovy. The low heat will give you time to break down the anchovy without the risk of burning it. This process should take less than two minutes.
• When the anchovy is dissolved, add the chilli.
• Stir and sweat the chilli for a minute or two (still on low heat).
• Add the parsley.
• Stir for few seconds and reserve the sauce into a glass bowl.
• Set the bowl aside, just for few minutes.
• We are left with the sauce pan empty. Bring the pan to medium/medium-high heat.
• Add the breadcrumbs into the sauce pan.
• Toast the breadcrumbs until slightly brown. The process should take about two or three minutes. When the breadcrumbs are toasted, remove the pan from the heat.
• Meanwhile, the pasta should be ready (cooked al dente). Drain the pasta and return it back into the large pan you used to boil it.
• Add the sauce, you have previously set aside, to the pasta.
• Add the breadcrumbs to the pasta and give the pasta a big stir. However, keep some breadcrumbs (a scant tablespoon for each plate) for the final garnish.
• Here is the final dish.
