Pasta with Anchovy Sauce

Serves: 4

Notes

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion
• 2 or 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 red capsicum
• 2 Tbsp black olives (pitted)
• 2 Tbsp chopped anchovies
• A few small chillies or 1 tsp chilli sauce
• 100 g parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbsp olive oil (preferably extra virgin)
• 200g spaghetti (cooked and tossed in a little olive oil)
• 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg

Method

Chop the onion and capsicum roughly, and crush the peeled garlic cloves. Gently cook in the olive oil over low heat. They won’t need much cooking – it’s better if the garlic and the onion are still a little crunchy.

Chop the black olives and add to the pan.

Add the anchovies, the chillies or the chilli sauce, and stir in half the grated parmesan cheese.

Toss the cooked spaghetti with the other ingredients in the pan.

Once well mixed with the spaghetti, add pepper to taste and some freshly grated nutmeg (always a great addition to pasta). Don’t use salt! There will be enough in the anchovies.

Top with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and serve with a lightly dressed green salad.
