Spaghetti Con Acciughe - Spaghetti with Anchovies

Monday, September 24, 2007 posted by Gourmet
  • 1 lb. spaghetti
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 12 filets of anchovy
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fry garlic in hot oil about 3 minutes or until brown. Then remove garlic. Cut anchovies in ½ inch pieces and add to the hot oil; cook for 2 minutes; stir constantly. Add a little pepper.
Cook spaghetti about 20 minutes or until tender in rapidly boiling salted water. Drain; arrange on individual heated plates. Pour sauce over spaghetti. Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Use salt very sparingly since anchovies are very salty. Serves 4 to 6.
