Anchovies anciently were one of the most popular fish as when they're put under salt they can not only last for a very long time, but they also become better with the passing of time. Nowadays Agostino Recca carries on the old traditions and methods trough his company in Sicily (Sciacca). Every process is hand made as Agostino believes that "machines can't distinguish between a good anchovy and a bad one, but these women can", as he said in a interview on a BBC special. So today we're going to give you a recipe whose protagonist are Fillets of Anchovies - Agostino Recca: Spaghetti with butter and anchovies. Ingredienti: Linguine di Gragnano - Pastificio Dei Campi (we're going to use linguine instead of spaghetti today), Fillets of Anchovies - Agostino Recca, Butter - Az. Agricola Frascio, Red garlic from Nubia, Organic extra virgin olive oil - Adamo, Raw Sea Salt Picked by Shoulder - Cuordisale - Salinagrande and a red hot chili pepper, bread. First put the pasta in boiling salted water for half the time it is written on the box. Meanwhile cut the anchovies into small pieces (3 anchovies per person) and put some olive oil, the minced anchovies, a garlic clove and a little minced red hot chili pepper in a pan and make them stir fry. When the linguine will be at half cooking dry them conserving the boiling water, so you have make the pasta cook in the pan used before adding the boiling water gradually (not too much , it has not even to cover the past) until the pasta will be cooked at the right level (al dente of course). Take the pan off the fire, at this point the pasta will be creamy and savory, but to make it more creamy add some butter and amalgamate as it is a risotto, the result will be outstanding. As a final touch toast some minced bread (not too thinly) and garnish with it to add crunchiness and a toasted flavor.
