Super Easy Spaghetti with Anchovies & Fresh Tomatoes for Two

If you've never tasted anchovies in this form, they are salty and yes, a little fishy.
But when you cook them in olive oil with some garlic, they melt right into the oil, leaving this wonderfully complex, earthy, and pungent base for a pasta sauce that complements the sweet-tart flavor of the fresh tomatoes, and that lovely green, herbaceous, and slightly peppery bite of parsley.
This dish comes together so quickly and easily. If you start your pasta in cold, shallow water before you prep the rest of the ingredients, it should be ready just about the time your sauce is.

If you only have Roma tomatoes, use 5 medium ones. If you only have grape tomatoes, use about 3 dozen of them.
If you don't have any fresh tomatoes at all, you can use a 15 oz. can of tomatoes, slightly drained.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat a large saute pan with 2 Tablespoons olive oil in it to medium. Add anchovies, garlic, and parsley and saute until the garlic starts to become translucent and the anchovies begin to melt.
- 2
Turn the heat up to medium high, add the tomatoes and chili flakes, and saute them until about hald of the cherry tomatoes have popped (or more if you prefer - I like the mixed texture of the different stages of doneness).
- 3
Toss in your pasta, stir to coat it with the sauce, and there you have it!
- 4
Enjoy! :)

While anchovy fillets are undeniably fishy, the salty funkiness of these little fish is their strength. Anchovies have a rich, umami flavor that adds a layer of complexity when dissolved into a sauce or emulsified into a dressing.Lại là một pha thần giao cách cảm vượt biên giới với @Marie007 😌#bepvang Linh -

My Easy Spaghetti alla Puttanesca My Easy Spaghetti alla Puttanesca
I love the ingredients used in this pasta, so I make it often.It's simple to prep with just a can of tuna!Adjust the amount of tuna to taste. It also tastes nice and simple without it.Use 20 g of natural cooking salt to 2 liters of water for boiling the pasta.I use canned chopped tomatoes. If you use canned whole tomatoes, be sure to mash them.If you use the entire can of tomatoes and stew the sauce, the taste will become nice and rich. For 2 servings.

Super Quick Canned Boiled Mackerel & Tomato Spaghetti Super Quick Canned Boiled Mackerel & Tomato Spaghetti
I've heard of tuna and tomato pasta but then I wondered how mackerel and tomato pasta would taste. So I tried it out and it turned into a rich and flavorful pasta.The sauce is finished during the time it takes to boil the pasta, so it's convenient.If the tomatoes are somewhat sour, add about 1 teaspoon of sugar!The point is to flavor the mackerel with the garlic and to allow the pasta to absorb the juices from the sauce! If there is still some liquid when you add the pasta, don't worry because the pasta will absorb it.A small little soy sauce really brings out the flavor. Recipe by Kumameshi cookpad.japan -
