Ingredients
- 1 pound of spaghetti
- 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves chopped fine
- 3 anchovy fillets
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- parmesan cheese to taste
- pinch of salt and pepper
Directions
- Boil a large pot of water, add salt after it boils
- Boil the spaghetti until it is al dente
- While the spaghetti is cooking, heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the olive oil and once heated, add the anchovy fillets, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Break up the anchovies so they melt into the olive oil. About 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low/medium and add the al dente spaghetti along with a ladle of pasta water.
- Allow the spaghetti to finish cooking in the pan, stirring often so the sauce becomes slightly creamy. Add more pasta water if necessary.
- Remove from the heat, add fresh parsley and mix.
- Top with parmesan cheese, and enjoy
