PASTA WITH BREAD CRUMBS AND ANCHOVIES, SICILIAN STYLE



Pasta With Bread Crumbs and Anchovies, Sicilian Style image

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.

Time 15m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup Sicilian olive oil or substitute a good fruity, green olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
2 pinches of red-pepper flakes
2 2-ounce cans flat fillets of anchovy, drained, rinsed, dried and cut small
1/2 pound spaghettini, preferably imported, made of 100 percent durum wheat
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 1/4 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs, toasted (see notes)

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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 garlic cloves, divided
5 ounces sourdough or other crusty bread, crust removed, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons (or more) olive oil
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
4 oil-packed Calabrian chiles, very finely chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lemon juice
12 ounces bucatini, spaghetti, or linguine
2 ounces finely grated Pecorino
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Very thinly slice 4 garlic cloves (a mandoline works great) and set aside. Pulse remaining 4 garlic cloves in a food processor until finely chopped. Add bread and lemon zest and pulse until coarse crumbs form; season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook breadcrumb mixture, stirring often, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer breadcrumb mixture with a slotted spoon to a small bowl.

  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
  • Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with sauce along with 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook, tossing often, until pasta is al dente. Add 3 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid, then gradually add cheese, tossing until melted and emulsified. Remove from heat, add parsley, butter, and half of breadcrumb mixture and toss until combined and butter is melted. If pasta seems dry, add more pasta cooking liquid and oil and toss again. Season with salt and pepper, and more lemon juice if desired.
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining breadcrumb mixture.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND ANCHOVIES



Spaghetti With Garlicky Bread Crumbs and Anchovies image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
12 anchovies, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup good dried bread crumbs
Black pepper and kosher salt, as needed
1 pound spaghetti
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or to taste
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

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.

GARLICKY LINGUINE WITH CABBAGE & ANCHOVY



Garlicky linguine with cabbage & anchovy image

This thrifty pasta dish of Savoy greens and crispy 'pangrattato' breadcrumbs is delicious in its simplicity

Provided by Silvana Franco

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

400g linguine or spaghetti
1 small Savoy cabbage , cut into 1cm-wide slices
4 tbsp olive oil
5 garlic cloves , thickly sliced
50g can anchovy in olive oil
large pinch crushed chilli flakes
1-2 tbsp olive oil
50g fresh white breadcrumb
4 tbsp finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp freshly grated pecorino or Parmesan

Steps:

  • Cook the linguine in a large pan of boiling, salted water following pack instructions, adding the cabbage for the final 4 mins of cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a very small saucepan and gently cook the garlic. As soon as it starts to turn golden, lift out with a fork and set aside - it's very important that the garlic does not brown or it will spoil the flavour of the oil.
  • Add the anchovies and their oil, and cook for 1-2 mins, mashing with a fork. Add about 150ml of hot water (take a ladle or two from the pasta pan) and simmer very gently until the pasta is ready.
  • To make the crumbs, heat the oil in a large pan and cook the bread and parsley, stirring frequently, for 5 mins until crisp and golden. Mix in the cheese.
  • Drain the pasta quite lightly and return to the pan. Add the anchovy sauce, garlic, chilli and plenty of black pepper. Toss well to combine, then divide between bowls, scatter with the hot crumbs and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Linguine is the best choice for this recipe, as its long, thin shape allows the sauce to evenly coat each strand. However, you can also use spaghetti or fettuccine if you prefer.
  • Use fresh, high-quality anchovies: The anchovies are the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use the best quality ones you can find. Look for anchovies that are packed in olive oil and salt, and avoid those that are packed in water.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Toast the breadcrumbs until they're golden brown: Toasting the breadcrumbs will give them a nutty flavor and make them more crispy. Be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is another important ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.

Conclusion:

This linguine with garlic breadcrumbs and anchovies is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of the salty anchovies, crispy breadcrumbs, and garlicky olive oil is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pasta recipe to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
