PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND BREADCRUMBS RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. While the water is heating, remove the crusts from the bread, if you like, and tear or cut it into cubes.
- Put bread cubes, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt in a food processor and pulse to make coarse breadcrumbs. You should have about 2 cups of crumbs, a bit more if the crusts are not removed.
- Heat the 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until the crumbs are lightly brown and crisp, about 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the moisture in the bread.
- Transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl, toss with lemon zest, if using, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to al dente according to package instructions, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Wipe out the pot used for the breadcrumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the halved garlic cloves and cook until lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
- Remove and discard the garlic pieces. Add the anchovies and crushed red pepper to the garlic-flavored oil and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the lemon juice, if using.
- Add the pasta to the pot and toss, cooking, until warmed through. Add some cooking water to loosen the mixture as needed. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and more crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Plate the pasta in wide, shallow pasta bowls and top with a generous amount of garlic breadcrumbs. Garnish with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:
- Very thinly slice 4 garlic cloves (a mandoline works great) and set aside. Pulse remaining 4 garlic cloves in a food processor until finely chopped. Add bread and lemon zest and pulse until coarse crumbs form; season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook breadcrumb mixture, stirring often, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer breadcrumb mixture with a slotted spoon to a small bowl.
- Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in same pot over medium-low. Cook reserved sliced garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden at edges, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and chiles and cook, stirring, until anchovies are dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
- Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with sauce along with 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook, tossing often, until pasta is al dente. Add 3 Tbsp. pasta cooking liquid, then gradually add cheese, tossing until melted and emulsified. Remove from heat, add parsley, butter, and half of breadcrumb mixture and toss until combined and butter is melted. If pasta seems dry, add more pasta cooking liquid and oil and toss again. Season with salt and pepper, and more lemon juice if desired.
- Divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining breadcrumb mixture.
PASTA WITH BREAD CRUMBS AND ANCHOVIES, SICILIAN STYLE
Here's a delightfully simple yet deeply flavorful Sicilian-style pasta sauce from Paula Wolfert, the prolific Mediterranean cookbook author. As you wait for your pasta to cook, sauté a garlic clove in a good bit of olive oil, then discard the clove. Toss in two cans of anchovy fillets and mash them with the back of your spoon until they dissolve into a fragrant sauce. Drain the pasta, then combine it with the anchovy sauce and serve. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and toasted bread crumbs for crunch. If you're serving this as a main course, double the recipe, for four generous servings.

Steps:
- Place olive oil and garlic in a heavy skillet and gently cook the garlic over medium heat until golden. Discard garlic. Add the red-pepper flakes and anchovies and mash to a puree with the back of a wooden spoon over very low heat, about one minute. Remove from heat. Do not allow oil to get very hot. Can be prepared in advance to this point.
- Cook the spaghettini in boiling, salted water until cooked al dente. While the pasta is cooking, transfer three tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to the anchovy-oil mixture in order to stretch the sauce; reheat carefully. Drain pasta, then transfer it to the skillet and toss with the hot sauce. Divide evenly on four heated dishes, sprinkle with parsley and serve at once. Pass the bread crumbs.
