SICILIAN ANCHOVY PASTA

• Cook pasta, open the anchovy cans and use the olive oil in them to coat the pasta so it doesnt stick together. set aside.
• Add more olive oil to a skillet, enough to coat all the pasta well later on. (Not much since it is already coated).
• Saute the garlic and onions in the olive oil.
• Add the chopped ahchovies and a good bit of pepper. (a lot of black pepper is good in this).
• Pour the mixture over pasta and mix well to coat all the pasta, serve as it is with no cheese or other toppings.
• **If you add fresh chopped basil and a touch of lemon juice, it completely changes the dish. I like both of them.**.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat for the pasta. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, stirring every 2 minutes. Taste a noodle a minute or so before the end of the suggested cooking time to ensure that your pasta comes out al dente.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon of butter, and the olive oil. Warm over low heat until the garlic becomes fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the onion and increase the heat to medium. Cook, giving the skillet a toss every other minute and reducing the heat if the butter begins to brown, until the onions are soft, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
• Just before it's time to remove the pasta from the boiling water, add 1/3 cup (80 ml) of the pasta water and the anchovies to the onion mixture and bring it to an aggressive simmer.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Continue cooking, constantly stirring and flipping, until about 3 tablespoons of liquid remain in the skillet, about 3 minutes.

• Divvy the pasta between two bowls and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.

PASTA WITH ONIONS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Finely chop the onions and garlic. I always used to do this in the processor, but I seem to be happier to chop by hand these days! And if you want to slice the onions into fine half moons, and then mince the garlic over once they've cooked, do. Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and cook the very finely chopped onion and garlic over a low heat until you have a soft, golden mush - about 20 minutes. (If you've sliced the onions, rather than chopped them, they might need longer.) Add the brown sugar (though white is fine too), stir it in and let the onion mixture cook for another minute or so. Remove the anchovies from the tin, and chop them very finely. Add them to the onion mush, stirring until they begin to "melt", then stir in the butter and the pinch of ground cloves, followed by a tablespoonful of water and when all is combined, gradually stir in the milk. When this has come together as a puree, take the pan off the heat. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in abundant salted water according to the packet instructions, removing a ladleful of cooking liquid just before you drain it. Tip the drained pasta into the anchovy and onion sauce and add the reserved cooking water to help lubricate the pasta. You may not need all of the water, so pour in gradually. Add some oil from the anchovy tin if you need it too. And, of course, if the pan isn't big enough to take all the pasta, just put it back into the pan it was cooked in and pour the sauce over the top. Sprinkle over most of the parsley, just roughly chopped, thoroughly turning the pasta in the pan to coat each strand in the anchovy sauce. Remove to a warm bowl, sprinkle over the remaining parsley and take to the table.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND BREADCRUMBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. While the water is heating, remove the crusts from the bread, if you like, and tear or cut it into cubes.
• Put bread cubes, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt in a food processor and pulse to make coarse breadcrumbs. You should have about 2 cups of crumbs, a bit more if the crusts are not removed.
• Heat the 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until the crumbs are lightly brown and crisp, about 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the moisture in the bread.
• Transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl, toss with lemon zest, if using, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to al dente according to package instructions, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside.
• Wipe out the pot used for the breadcrumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the halved garlic cloves and cook until lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
• Remove and discard the garlic pieces. Add the anchovies and crushed red pepper to the garlic-flavored oil and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the lemon juice, if using.
• Add the pasta to the pot and toss, cooking, until warmed through. Add some cooking water to loosen the mixture as needed. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and more crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
• Plate the pasta in wide, shallow pasta bowls and top with a generous amount of garlic breadcrumbs. Garnish with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
