Best Tomatoes With Basil And Anchovies Recipes

ANCHOVY AND TOMATO PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• In an ovenproof dish mix together tomatoes, anchovies, garlic, basil, oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and tomato paste. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Anchovies and tomatoes should be soft and easily broken down with a spoon.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted water, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
• Mash tomato mixture with a potato masher and mix in reserved cooking pasta water. Taste and season with more salt if required (add only a pinch or two at a time).
• Toss noodles in sauce. Serve with additional finely chopped basil and parmesan cheese if desired.

MARK BITTMAN'S PASTA WITH GARLIC, TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it for the pasta -- you should be able to make the entire recipe as the pasta cooks.
• Put olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add garlic and chilies, if using -- cook garlic so it bubbles gently.
• When it is lightly browned all over, add anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute, until anchovies begin to fall apart, then add tomatoes.
• Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
• Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary (taste first because the anchovies can contribute plenty of salt).
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. When it is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Serve pasta with sauce and parsley.

• Sprinkle with chopped anchovies, parsley, chopped or sliced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes (if using) salt and pepper.

• Bake the tomatoes uncovered until tender, wrinkled and starting to brown around the edges (this should take about 40-50 minutes).

TOMATOES WITH BASIL AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Put garlic, shallot and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Put anchovies in a small bowl and cover with milk. Leave for 5 minutes, then carefully rinse with water and blot with paper towels. (Alternatively, skip the milk and simply rinse anchovies with water and blot.) Transfer to a small plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• About 5 or 10 minutes before serving, place tomatoes in a large, deep platter or low-sided serving bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, then add vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
• Just before serving, add the basil leaves and toss gently. Garnish with anchovy fillets and a sprinkling of crushed red pepper, if desired.
