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.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except shallot in a blender, and turn the machine on. A creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste, and add more vinegar if necessary, about a teaspoon at a time, until the balance tastes right.
- Add shallot, and turn machine on and off a few times, until shallot is minced within the dressing. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. (This vinaigrette is best made fresh but will keep refrigerated for a few days. Before using, bring it back to room temperature, and whisk briefly.)

Tips:
- When choosing anchovies, look for those that are plump and have a silvery skin. Avoid anchovies that are brown or yellow, as these are likely to be old and rancid.
- To remove the saltiness from anchovies, soak them in milk for 30 minutes before using. This will help to mellow out the flavor and make them more palatable.
- If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute chopped cornichons or olives.
- To make the marinade more flavorful, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the marinade. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and flavor it.
- When grilling the meat, cook it over medium-high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. Be sure to baste the meat with the marinade frequently to keep it moist and flavorful.
