RIGATONI WITH WHITE ANCHOVIES & RICOTTA
David Pasternak, "The Young Man & The Sea", chef at the seafood-centric Italian restaurant Esca in NYC, c-oowned with Chefs Mario Batali and Jpseph Bastianich, doesn't just cook fish: He catches it, cleans it, fillets it, and debones it. An obsessed fisherman, Pasternak has a deep knowledge of seafood that comes through clearly in his recipes..This full-flavored pasta is perfect for anchovy lovers -the rich, tangy flavor of the fish dominates. White anchovies marinated in oil and vinegar, a Spanish tapa called boquerones, have a brighter taste and more tender texture than salt cured anchovies preserved in oil. Boqueneros are available at some specialty stores, good deli counter and tienda.com
