Anchovy and spinach spaghetti
This anchovy and spinach spaghetti is a classically simple Italian dish and it’s really so easy to make! Ideal on busy days, served with a green salad. I use gluten-free spaghetti here, but any type of pasta that you may prefer works well too. You can serve it with some toasted pine nuts and/or Parmesan cheese if you like.
Ingredients
Method
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instruction. For the last 2 minutes of the cooking time add the spinach.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic and chilli, then cook for a minute, stirring. Make sure that the garlic doesn’t burn!
- Add the anchovies and the lemon juice, let it sizzle, then add a couple of spoonful of the cooking water of the pasta & spinach. Stir for a few seconds, until you get a thick sauce.
- Drain the pasta & spinach and toss it in a mixing bowl with the anchovy sauce. Season to taste and serve with grated Parmesan, toasted pine nuts or chilli flakes, according to your liking and diet.
