Sicilian Anchovy Pasta
This pasta is absolutely amazing and simple to make. Spaghetti gets tossed in a simple anchovy garlic sauce with breadcrumbs and parsley. The pasta is rich with the briny essence of the anchovies; the breadcrumbs giving it a nice texture that shows that not all Italian pasta is saucy. Really to me, it tastes like a caesar salad dressing without the mayonnaise; which is fantastic. One of the best parts is that it’s ready in 15 minutes.
