Cherry Tomato Anchovy Sauce Recipes

PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ANCHOVY FILLETS

Steps:

• Crush, peel, and mince the garlic cloves.
• Cut the anchovy filets into ⅛-inch strips and mince them by chopping crosswise.
• Mix the garlic mince and anchovy mince together.
• Press down on them with one side of your chef's knife and smear them against the surface of your cutting board until they've turned into a uniform paste.
• Slice the cherry tomatoes into ½ or ⅓ (depending on each cherry tomato's size).
• Bring a pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil.
• When the water is steaming, bubbling, and churning, add the pasta to the pot and give the noodles a quick stir.
• Let the noodles cook. Come back to the pot 2-3 minutes before the recommended time in the cooking instructions on the package.
• Preheat your frying pan for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat.
• Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the hot frying pan. Lift the pan and swirl it around, coating the entire cooking surface with olive oil.
• Add the anchovy-garlic paste and sauté it briefly, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
• Scoop out 1 soup ladle of salty and starchy pasta water from the pasta pot. Pour it in the pan to add a cooking liquid that will keep the garlic from burning.
• Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally.
• When the pasta noodles in the pot are slightly stiff and almost al dente, transfer them from the pot to your pan. Optionally, add a few chili flakes to give the pasta a little kick.
• Cook the noodles with the sauce, tossing them in the pan often, for 2-3 minutes. When the sauce has evaporated and all that's left is coating on the noodles, the pasta is done.

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.

• Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
