Ingredients

Let’s see what ingredients we need to prepare the spaghetti with anchovies

  • 8 walnuts
  • 12 anchovies (filleted or in oil or desalted)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • to taste pine nuts
  • to taste chopped parsley
  • to taste chili pepper (in powder if you like)
  • A few drops vinegar (for deglazing)
  • 12 oz spaghetti

Tools

  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Colander
  • 1 Fork

Steps

  • Take a frying pan, place it on the stove over low heat and add the anchovy fillets in oil or desalted, whichever you prefer to use, the walnut kernels (you can leave them whole or chop them), the pine nuts, the extra virgin olive oil, parsley, chopped garlic, and chili pepper (if you like). In my opinion, a light sprinkle is just right.

    Let them blend together for about 5 minutes, when the anchovies have a creamier consistency and are blended with the other ingredients, if you like, turn up the heat under the pan and deglaze with a few drops of vinegar.

    If you like vinegar, I recommend trying it. If you don’t love it, leave it as is, and don’t add anything for deglazing.

  • In the meantime, you will have also cooked the pasta, which you will drain and add to the pan.

    Add a tablespoon of pasta cooking water. Stir well and serve this SUPER FAST DELICIOUSNESS.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
