Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Add Anchovies and Spices

    Add the chopped anchovies and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another minute until the anchovies have melted into the oil.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to help emulsify the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
