PASTA WITH PRESERVED LEMON AND ANCHOVIES



Pasta with Preserved Lemon and Anchovies image

Two store-bought pantry ingredients are the stars of this quick weeknight supper: sunny preserved lemons and meaty anchovies. Parmesan cheese brings out the umami flavor of the little fish, while a handful of parsley adds just the right amount of freshness.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces long pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons minced garlic (from 5 to 6 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced oil-packed anchovies (from 6 to 8)
1/4 cup chopped preserved lemon (from about 1/2 store-bought preserved lemon)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1/2 cup packed), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until slightly less than al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and anchovies and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add preserved lemon; cook 30 seconds. Add pasta and 3/4 cup pasta water; cook, stirring and shaking pan, until pasta is cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add parsley and cheese and continue stirring and shaking pan, adding more pasta water as necessary to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper and serve with more cheese, pepper, and parsley leaves, and a drizzle of oil.

ARTICHOKE, ANCHOVY AND LEMON PASTA



Artichoke, Anchovy and Lemon Pasta image

This recipe is a love letter to one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. The chef does a play on pasta c'anciuova e muddica atturrata, which is Sicilian-style pasta with anchovies and toasted breadcrumbs, but he adds fish sauce for an intense umami boost. I first made this dish during the summer, when I crave pasta al limone, so this recipe became a hybrid of the two. The addition of the artichokes helps brighten it up even more.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
1 pound your favorite long pasta, such as bucatini
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 flat anchovy fillets packed in olive oil, drained and finely chopped
1/4 cup panko
Zest from 3 lemons
Two 14-ounce cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably from the anchovy jar or tin
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 flat anchovy fillets packed in olive oil, drained and finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, finely grated
2 lemons, juiced
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional

Steps:

  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season the boiling water with salt so it tastes as salty as a broth; it is important that the pasta water it is not too salty because it will help season the sauce. Add the pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions for al dente pasta.
  • For the breadcrumbs: Put the butter and anchovies in a small nonstick pan and cook over medium-high heat, swirling the butter and stirring the anchovies until the butter starts to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the panko and cook, stirring continuously and tossing, until the breadcrumbs are golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in the lemon zest and set aside.
  • For the artichokes: Line a plate with paper towels. Heat a large saute pan or braiser over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and artichokes, cut-side down, and cook until the artichokes have a dark, golden brown crust, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared plate and sprinkle with salt.
  • Put the butter in the same pan and cook over medium heat until melted. Add the garlic and anchovies and cook, stirring frequently, until the anchovies start to turn dark brown and the garlic is very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water and stir to emulsify. Add the pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce coats the pasta and the flavors come together, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and toss to coat.
  • Divide the pasta into bowls and top with the artichokes, parsley if using and breadcrumbs.

LEMONY PASTA WITH KELP, CHILE AND ANCHOVIES



Lemony Pasta With Kelp, Chile and Anchovies image

Kelp, a hardy seaweed sold fresh, frozen or dried, gives this lemony pasta dish a salty depth that's also extremely nutrient-dense. A little like pesto, the garlicky sauce coats the rigatoni in a bright green purée, flecked with darker bits of chopped parsley. Don't skimp on the anchovies; they underscore the ocean flavor of the kelp, adding an appealing umami richness.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt, as needed
1 pound rigatoni or other pasta
4 to 8 anchovy fillets, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus fresh lemon juice, to taste
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1/2 cup/70 grams kelp purée or thawed kelp smoothie cubes (see Note)
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just shy of al dente, usually 1 to 2 minutes earlier than the cooking time suggested on the packaging. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and red-pepper flakes to make a paste.
  • In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add anchovy paste and cook, stirring, until the anchovies begin to dissolve, about 2 minutes. Add kelp and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup parsley and the butter. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If the mixture seems dry, add some of the reserved pasta water, tossing to coat the pasta with sauce. Season with salt and lemon juice, to taste.
  • Garnish with more parsley, drizzle with oil, if desired, and serve immediately.
