Anchovy Garlic Pasta Recipes

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.

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.

GARLIC ANCHOVY LINGUINE

Steps:

• Heat 6 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then stir in garlic, broccoli, and mushrooms; cook until lightly browned. Add anchovies and water, cover, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in green onions, tomatoes, and parsley, cover again, simmering until vegetables are soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of water and one teaspoon of olive oil to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes; drain. Toss with anchovy mixture and crushed red pepper flakes. If desired, season with black pepper. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC, CHILES AND KALE

Steps:

• Bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in the largest skillet you have. Add chiles and a pinch of salt and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add smashed garlic, capers and anchovies. Let cook until everything is golden, the capers look crisp around the edges and the anchovies have dissolved into the oil, about 3 to 4 minutes. (You can help anchovies dissolve by mashing them with a wooden spoon as they cook.) Add kale and 2 tablespoons water and sauté until kale wilts and cooks in the pan and is well coated with oil, about 5 minutes. You might have to add more water if the water evaporates before the kale finishes cooking.
• Add drained pasta and toss well. Add more salt if necessary and plenty of black pepper, and serve drizzled with more oil and a squeeze of lemon if the dish needs a lift. Cheese isn't necessary but if you like pecorino and have some on hand, feel free to shower it on top.

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.

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.

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.

SICILIAN ANCHOVY PASTA

Steps:

• I dont remember how big the anchovy cans are, but they are those little oblong cans twith the fillets in olive oil.
• Cook pasta, open the anchovy cans and use the olive oil in them to coat the pasta so it doesnt stick together. set aside.
• Add more olive oil to a skillet, enough to coat all the pasta well later on. (Not much since it is already coated).
• Saute the garlic and onions in the olive oil.
• Add the chopped ahchovies and a good bit of pepper. (a lot of black pepper is good in this).
• Pour the mixture over pasta and mix well to coat all the pasta, serve as it is with no cheese or other toppings.
• **If you add fresh chopped basil and a touch of lemon juice, it completely changes the dish. I like both of them.**.

PASTA WITH ONIONS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Finely chop the onions and garlic. I always used to do this in the processor, but I seem to be happier to chop by hand these days! And if you want to slice the onions into fine half moons, and then mince the garlic over once they've cooked, do. Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and cook the very finely chopped onion and garlic over a low heat until you have a soft, golden mush - about 20 minutes. (If you've sliced the onions, rather than chopped them, they might need longer.) Add the brown sugar (though white is fine too), stir it in and let the onion mixture cook for another minute or so. Remove the anchovies from the tin, and chop them very finely. Add them to the onion mush, stirring until they begin to "melt", then stir in the butter and the pinch of ground cloves, followed by a tablespoonful of water and when all is combined, gradually stir in the milk. When this has come together as a puree, take the pan off the heat. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in abundant salted water according to the packet instructions, removing a ladleful of cooking liquid just before you drain it. Tip the drained pasta into the anchovy and onion sauce and add the reserved cooking water to help lubricate the pasta. You may not need all of the water, so pour in gradually. Add some oil from the anchovy tin if you need it too. And, of course, if the pan isn't big enough to take all the pasta, just put it back into the pan it was cooked in and pour the sauce over the top. Sprinkle over most of the parsley, just roughly chopped, thoroughly turning the pasta in the pan to coat each strand in the anchovy sauce. Remove to a warm bowl, sprinkle over the remaining parsley and take to the table.
