Craving Anchovies


So I just got back from the gym and I am sooo craving anchovies! I love them, salty and fishy they are deeeeeeeeelicious! I love them on pizza, in sandwiches, in my salad, in a Caesar dressing, in dips, in pasta sauces, and straight up on a cracker! I just made an awesome impromptu pasta with the things I have in my fridge. It totally hit the spot!

Anchovy Pasta for one

1 clove of garlic sliced
5 anchovy filets
3 tablespoons olive oil.
1 tablespoon lemon juice
black pepper
parmesan reggiano

1. On low heat sautee one clove sliced garlic and 5 anchovies in 3 Tbspn olive oil. Break up anchovies slightly with spatula. Once the anchovies have slight softened and melted into the olive oil turn off heat. Don't brown the garlic!
2. Drizzle in 1 Tbspn lemon juice and a couple of grinds of black pepper. (none of that pre ground black pepper in a bottle business!)
3. When the pasta is al dente ( I prefer the toothyness of linguine) toss it right in the same pan with the sauce.

Soooooo good! It would have been better if I had some freshly shaved parmesan reggiano. You don't need to add any salt to this dish because the anchovies are already salty. Let me know how you like your anchovies!
