Best Pasta With Anchovies And Arugula Recipes
PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND ARUGULA
Anchovies are a whole 'nother thing when they are sauteed, dissolve, and form part of a sauce! From Mark Bittman, published in the *New York Times* 7/29/11. Made it tonight with arugula and garlic from our garden. Had to skimp a little on the arugula, because it wouldn't all fit in our deep cast-iron pot, but it was absolutely delicious, and now I'm on the lookout for other recipes that call for anchovies!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt it.
- Put the oil in a deep skillet, and turn heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic, and then the anchovies and red pepper flakes. When the garlic sizzles and the anchovies break up, turn the heat to its lowest setting.
- Cook the pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid, and drain. Add pasta to skillet, along with enough reserved cooking water to make a sauce. Off the heat, combine the pasta with the greens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss, taste and adjust the seasoning and serve.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND ARUGULA
The original version of this recipe, which I wrote in 2000 to accompany a column about the many wonders of anchovies, is one of the rare Minimalist recipes I wasn't entirely happy with when I re-examined it. The problem was the proportions of the ingredients. My thinking about pasta dishes has evolved, and the more-sauce-less-pasta approach that's emerged is one that's pretty brilliant, if I do say so myself. So, it was a bit of a shock to look back at my original recipe and find that, for four people, I called for a full pound of pasta but only two cups of arugula. The resulting dish is delicious, thanks to garlic and anchovies, but uniformly starchy and a bit lacking in textural and flavor contrast. You can barely even taste the arugula when there's only a half-cup in each serving. So I decided to do a little tweaking. My new version contains almost equal parts cooked pasta and raw arugula. Thanks to the increase in greenery, Pasta With Anchovies and Arugula 2.0 is lighter and more interesting than the original, though no less satisfying.
