Quick Anchovy Pasta

(2 votes)
Even kids and anchovy haters have loved this savory pasta! I used all Trader Joe's ingredients in this.

1. Cook 1 package Trader Joe's Spaghetti al dente, according to package directions. Drain well and set aside. (Reserve some of the cooking water if you wish to use it to thin the sauce.)

2. In same pan, pour 2 tblsp Trader Joe's Olive Oil and place over low heat.

3. Add 10 cubes frozen garlic (or 10 cloves finely-chopped garlic, or equivalent jarred garlic paste) to oil in pan; stir and heat well but do not brown. (If using fresh garlic, cook slowly, stirring frequently, until soft.)

4. Add 2 cans Trader Joes Anchovies in Olive oil (including the oil) to pan and heat on low, stirring and mashing anchovies with the garlic.

5. When the mixture is fairly smooth, add drained spaghetti to pan and toss to warm spaghetti. The anchovies, oil and garlic should coat the spaghetti well; if it seems a bit dry, add a bit more olive oil, butter, or water reserved from cooking the pasta, as needed, and toss again.

6. Add Trader Joes tubbed fresh grated Parmesan Cheese to taste (I use about a quarter cup) and toss. At this point, you may sprinkle with a bit of fresh chopped parsley, if you wish.

That's it! Total time is about 15 minutes, start to finish.

Serve with some sliced tomatoes in vinaigrette and crusty Sourdough Bread.
