Yield 2 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound spaghetti
Salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
4 anchovy filets, rinsed and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, optional
Parmesan for grating, optional

Steps:

  • Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
  • While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
  • Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.
