Ingredients for spaghetti with anchovies and breadcrumbs

- 1 pinch salt
Tools

Preparation of Spaghetti with Anchovies and Breadcrumbs
To prepare spaghetti with anchovies and breadcrumbs, first bring enough slightly salted water to a boil in a pot to cook the pasta.
Meanwhile, in a frying pan with 3 tablespoons of oil, sauté the whole crushed garlic clove for a few moments. When the oil begins to sizzle, add the anchovies and capers that you have rinsed under water.
Using the back of a spoon, try to break down the anchovy fillets until they melt, then turn off the heat and set aside.
Remove the garlic clove.
When the water boils, cook the pasta leaving it very al dente, then in another frying pan, heat the remaining olive oil and toast the breadcrumbs until golden.
Drain the spaghetti into the pan with the anchovies along with a ladle of cooking water and sauté for a few moments to absorb flavors.
Turn off the heat and add the toasted breadcrumbs set aside, mix well, and add some seasoning and breadcrumbs.

These spaghetti should be eaten immediately after preparation, or they will become overcooked. If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container for 2 days, perhaps then bake them with some béchamel or cheese.
