Spaghetti Alla Mamma image

A friend brought this recipe home from a hunting trip to Italy. He and his group ended up in a farm house somewhere in the middle of nowhere in northern Italy, and the elderly lady threw this together to feed them. Amounts are a guess. Our friend told us "She threw olive oil, lots of parsley, shrimps, anchovis, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, pepperoni and garlic into her skillet, fied it for some minutes and then added cooked spaghetti, mixed everything and served it". I've made it many times now and always did exactly what the Italian lady did - as long as you use lots of parsley and a little less of the other ingredients, you'll never go wrong!
