Minerally, unoaked with lemon and apple fruit character, delicate and well balanced. Founded in 1859 this label has become the reliable stamp of quality and consistency.

Description

This is one of those dishes where you just want to keep eating it! The salty, tangy flavour of the anchovies and a hint of garlic & chilli is a perfect combo with the spaghetti.

Method

  1. 1

    A savoury, mouth watering and simple dish!
    Boil the spaghetti "al dente"
    Fry the garlic and chilli in the anchovy oil for a minute or so, then add the anchovies (keep a few fresh ones aside) and stir occasionally until they have "melted".
    Add the pasta to the pan and mix well. Add parsley.
    Serve sprinkled with shaved parmesan and top with the remaining fresh anchovies.

Chef's Tips

Use quantities according to taste, but don't be shy with the anchovies! This could be an ideal starter in small portions decorated with "criss cross" fresh anchovies on top. I serve with toasted garlic bread or you could add croutons.
