Spaghetti With Fried Capers And Anchovies

Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Serves 4

Ingredients

1⁄3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 cup capers, rinsed and patted dry
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
1 pound spaghetti or linguine
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until capers darken, become crisp, and pop open, about 4 minutes. Remove capers with slotted spoon and transfer to paper towel–lined plate. Let skillet cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add anchovies, garlic, and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt to now-empty skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until garlic turns golden but not brown, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
  3. Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Reserve 1⁄4 cup cooking water, then drain pasta and return it to pot. Add crisp capers, garlic mixture, parsley, if using, and reserved cooking water to pasta and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
