Spaghetti with anchovies and breadcrumbs, a simple and quick dish, delicious to my taste, from the Sicilian gastronomic tradition, my homeland! Salted anchovies are never missing in any fisherman’s family, where the wives skillfully and passionately prepare with love. Another ingredient for this dish is breadcrumbs, which is also a way to reuse the abundance of homemade bread, sometimes just because with a large family, cheese is scarce. Finally, capers, another ingredient for spaghetti with anchovies and breadcrumbs, generously provided by the land in southern Italy, with this dish giving an idea of what is poor but flavorful cuisine.
