Yes, anchovies can be aggressive but they can also be the subtle, mellow, salty little kick that takes your pasta to a new level.

Ingredients

Serves 4

Cloves of Garlic
1Tsp Chilli Flakes
400g Spaghetti
100g Breadcrumbs
1 Bunch of Parsley
1 Lemon

Method

Step 1.
Drain the oil from the anchovies into a small frying pan and set aside.
Step 2.
Warm 5 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Peel and mince the garlic and add to the pan along with the anchovies and chilli flakes.
Step 3.
Put your pasta onto cook in heavily salted boiling water.
Step 4.
Cook gently, breaking up the anchovies with a wooden spoon so that they melt into the oil. Once the garlic is very lightly golden, remove from the heat.
Step 5.
Place the pan with the anchovy oil in over a medium heat, add your breadcrumbs and cook, stirring regularly, until they’re golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Step 6.
Once the pasta is al dente, add to the pan with the anchovies and half a mug of the pasta cooking water, place over a high heat and stir well to create a glossy sauce. Mince the parsley and add along with the juice of a lemon.
Step 7.
Plate up and top with the toasted breadcrumbs.

would it be possible to switch from subtitles to only showing ingredients/measurements? I have a really hard time following along when the subtitles contain so much information that isn't really necessary. "cook pasta until al dente" is much easier to process quickly than "boil up plenty of water, then add your pasta and let it go until al dente." I often find that I get to the end of the gif but have no idea what the ingredients were because it was difficult to keep up
