PASTA WITH BREAD CRUMBS AND ANCHOVIES, SICILIAN STYLE
Here's a delightfully simple yet deeply flavorful Sicilian-style pasta sauce from Paula Wolfert, the prolific Mediterranean cookbook author. As you wait for your pasta to cook, sauté a garlic clove in a good bit of olive oil, then discard the clove. Toss in two cans of anchovy fillets and mash them with the back of your spoon until they dissolve into a fragrant sauce. Drain the pasta, then combine it with the anchovy sauce and serve. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and toasted bread crumbs for crunch. If you're serving this as a main course, double the recipe, for four generous servings.

Steps:
- Place olive oil and garlic in a heavy skillet and gently cook the garlic over medium heat until golden. Discard garlic. Add the red-pepper flakes and anchovies and mash to a puree with the back of a wooden spoon over very low heat, about one minute. Remove from heat. Do not allow oil to get very hot. Can be prepared in advance to this point.
- Cook the spaghettini in boiling, salted water until cooked al dente. While the pasta is cooking, transfer three tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to the anchovy-oil mixture in order to stretch the sauce; reheat carefully. Drain pasta, then transfer it to the skillet and toss with the hot sauce. Divide evenly on four heated dishes, sprinkle with parsley and serve at once. Pass the bread crumbs.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND BREADCRUMBS RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. While the water is heating, remove the crusts from the bread, if you like, and tear or cut it into cubes.
- Put bread cubes, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt in a food processor and pulse to make coarse breadcrumbs. You should have about 2 cups of crumbs, a bit more if the crusts are not removed.
- Heat the 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until the crumbs are lightly brown and crisp, about 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the moisture in the bread.
- Transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl, toss with lemon zest, if using, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to al dente according to package instructions, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Wipe out the pot used for the breadcrumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the halved garlic cloves and cook until lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
- Remove and discard the garlic pieces. Add the anchovies and crushed red pepper to the garlic-flavored oil and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the lemon juice, if using.
- Add the pasta to the pot and toss, cooking, until warmed through. Add some cooking water to loosen the mixture as needed. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and more crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Plate the pasta in wide, shallow pasta bowls and top with a generous amount of garlic breadcrumbs. Garnish with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

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.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND ANCHOVIES
This is a take on a classic dish from Southern Italy that tosses pasta with toasted, seasoned bread crumbs called pangrattatto. In this version, the bread crumbs are sautéed in olive oil with garlic and anchovies until golden and crisp, and the pasta is coated with egg yolks, hot sauce and Asian fish sauce for creaminess and depth. You can make the bread crumbs up to 3 hours ahead; longer than that and you risk letting them go soggy. Use good-quality bread crumbs here, either homemade or purchased from a bakery. The next best choice is panko, Japanese bread crumbs that you can find in large supermarkets. If you have any of the pangrattatto mixture left over, store it in the refrigerator and give it a brief sauté to revive it before using.

Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm oil. Add anchovies, garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in bread crumbs and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Season liberally with black pepper, and a little salt if needed.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions; drain well, reserving some of the pasta water (about 1/2 cup is plenty).
- In a large, preferably warmed bowl, stir together egg yolks, fish sauce, hot sauce and 2 tablespoons pasta water. Add hot pasta and toss well, adding more pasta water if the mixture looks dry or unevenly yellow. You want the yolk to evenly coat the pasta but you don't want it to be soupy. Add bread crumb mixture and parsley and toss well. Season with plenty of black pepper, and salt to taste. Drizzle pasta with more oil just before serving and serve with lemon wedges.

My mom made this dish up, it is REALLY good if you like anchovies. A little on the dry side because of the breadcrumbs and anchovies together, but it has an excellent taste.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in skillet add liquid from anchovies.
- Chop up anchovies and put in skillet on medium heat, for just a couple minutes (they cook up really fast so watch carefully).
- Turn skillet off, add bread crumbs and stir thoroughly.

Tips:
- Use fresh anchovies: Fresh anchovies have a milder flavor and a more delicate texture than canned anchovies. If you can, try to find fresh anchovies at your local fish market.
- Rinse the anchovies thoroughly: Before using fresh anchovies, rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any salt or grit.
- Remove the anchovy heads and bones: To remove the anchovy heads and bones, simply use your fingers to gently pull them off. You can also use a sharp knife to make a small incision along the belly of the anchovy and then remove the head and bones.
- Use a food processor to make the anchovy paste: The easiest way to make anchovy paste is to use a food processor. Simply add the anchovies, olive oil, and lemon juice to the food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste: Once the pasta is cooked, season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Anchovy breadcrumb pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of salty anchovies, crispy breadcrumbs, and tangy lemon juice creates a flavor that is both complex and satisfying. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover anchovies.
