Ingredients
- 400 grams Spaghetti
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 fillets Anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté gently until it turns golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped anchovy fillets and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing them to dissolve into the oil.
Step 5
Add the red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Step 6
Toss the drained spaghetti into the skillet, ensuring it is well coated in the garlicky oil.
Step 7
Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, to help loosen the sauce and coat the pasta evenly.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped parsley and season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
