MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVY, CAPERS AND RED PEPPER
There's something about pasta, cooked properly, that trumps all the other possibilities. And the smell of pasta boiling is a heady cheap thrill. With a few basic staple pantry items, a true feast can be ready in minutes. Good spaghetti, good olive oil, garlic and a little red pepper are all you need, plus some anchovy and capers if you have them.

Steps:
- Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
- While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.

MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC AND TOMATO
Tomato paste gives this speedy midnight pasta, studded with anchovy and garlic, its color and umami. If you're not an anchovy fan, you can substitute a few tablespoons of chopped capers or olives. Be generous when adding the pasta water to the pan. The mixture should look soupy at first, but the sauce will thicken up as you toss.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until about 2 minutes shy of al dente so the pasta can finish cooking in the sauce. It should still have a slight crunch in the center. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, combine the oil, garlic, anchovies (if using), red-pepper flakes and pinch of salt over low heat. Cook until garlic is opaque and a few of the slices are pale gold at the edges (don't let the garlic turn brown), 2 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook until it darkens, about 1 minute longer.
- Add the drained pasta, lemon zest and 1/3 cup of the reserved pasta water to skillet. Stir until the pasta is al dente and well coated with sauce. Add more pasta water, if needed, until the sauce is glossy and the pasta cooked to taste.
- Cut the zested lemon half in half (so you'll have a quarter of a lemon) and squeeze some juice into pasta. Stir in herbs and taste, adding more lemon juice and salt, if needed. Cut remaining lemon into wedges and serve it alongside the pasta, which should be garnished with more herbs and red-pepper flakes, a drizzle of oil and a generous sprinkle of cheese, if you like.

- Start a pot of water to cook the pasta. Prep the remaining ingredients while you wait for it to come to a boil. Salt the water and start the pasta. Cook it according to package directions for al dente—depending on the brand, it should take 8 to 10 minutes.
- When the pasta goes in the water, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over a medium-low flame. Add the garlic and stir to coat with oil. Add the anchovies, capers and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. If the garlic starts to brown, reduce heat to low—you just want the flavors to combine and the anchovies to melt into the sauce. Turn off the heat and wait for the pasta to finish cooking.
- Drain pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup pasta water. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce in the skillet and toss to combine, adding a little pasta water if it seems dry—I added about 3 tablespoons. Add parsley and toss to combine.
- Divide between 2 plates and season with freshly ground black pepper. Grate some Parmesan or Pecorino Romano over the plates and serve.
