- Cook:
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 400g Spaghetti
- 4tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 dried chili crushed
- 4 canned anchovy fillets finely chopped
- 1 lemon zest grated
- 150g fresh herbs (basil, oregano, chives, parsley)
- grated parmesan to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions. In a large non-stick frying pan, sweat the garlic in the olive oil over a very low heat for a minute.
- STEP 2
Add the chilli, lemon zest, anchovies and herbs and stir until the herbs have wilted.
- STEP 3
When cooked, drain the spaghetti, reserving some of the cooking liquid to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Add the spaghetti to the herby mixture and toss well to combine.
- STEP 4
Serve with the parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. This goes really well with a fresh tomato and basil salad.
