Authentic Peperoncino with Anchovies
- 100 grams Pasta (I recommend pasta about 1.4-1.6 mm thick)
- 45 ml A. Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 clove A. Minced garlic
- 1 Red chili peppers (sliced into rounds)
- 1 Minced anchovy filet
- 1 tsp B. Cake flour
- 50 ml B. Water
- 1 Extra ingredients of your choice that aren't salty, like the lettuce in the top photo
- 1 Black pepper
- Heat 3 liters of water in a large pot.
- When it is nearly boiling, add 2 tablespoons salt.
- The amount of salt added in Step 1 determines the taste of this dish, so measure it carefully.
- *When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and keep it on low.
- Combine the B ingredients.
- *Mix the flour in well, until there are no more lumps.
- Put the A ingredients in a cold frying pan and cook over low heat The oil will become infused with the fragrance of the garlic.
- Add the red chili peppers to the Step 4 mixture when it starts to sizzle and the garlic is fragrant, but before the garlic starts to turn brown.
- Start to boil the pasta at the same time, over low heat.
- Cook it al dente, or 30 seconds to 1 minute less than the cooking time on the package.
- When the garlic in Step 5 starts to brown, add the anchovies.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Pour the flour dissolved in water from Step 3 into the pan in Step 7.
- Cook over medium heat, lifting up the pan and giving it a shake every 15 seconds.
- Important point: When the liquid in the pan in Step 8 starts to thicken and emulsifies, immediately turn off the heat.
- Emulsification is very important for oil based pasta.
- The water used for boiling pasta at home, where you are only cooking a small amount, is different from that of restaurants.
- Adding cake flour makes it easier to emulsify.
- This little trick is important to make it taste like pasta served at a restaurant.
- I usually use water from boiling the pasta to dissolve the flour, but this time I used ordinary water, taking into account the saltiness of the anchovies.
- When the pasta is cooked, raise the heat under the frying pan in Step 11 and add the drained, cooked pasta.
- *I added lettuce this time.
- Stir up the pasta so that it's coated with the oil.
- *See Step 18 for instructions about the lettuce.
- Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with black pepper, and it's done.
- I don't think you'll need to adjust the seasoning.
- I like to drizzle on a bit of anchovy oilat the end.
- This is a very simple pasta dish seasoned with only the salt from boiling the pasta, anchovies, garlic and chili peppers, which is why it's so delicious.
- Try it for a quick dinner!
- Lettuce peperoncino: Put as much lettuce as you like in the strainer you'll use to drain the pasta.
- Drain the cooked pasta over the lettuce in the strainer and follow the steps from 13 onward.
- You can also dip the lettuce in the water for boiling the pasta in Step 6.
- Do it for a short time, so it stays crisp.
- Mushroom peperoncino: Mushrooms cook quickly, so add them right after Step 7, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cook the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, then proceed to emulsification Steps 8 and 9.
- Combine with the cooked, drained pasta as in Steps 13 and 14.
- Add in the extra ingredients of your choice in Steps 5-7, taking into account the cooking time of the ingredients.
- Use a separate frying pan for other ingredients that take longer to cook, or absorb a lot of oil, like eggplant.
- Cook them with garlic oil.
- You can also use garlic oil for Steps 4 and 5, or use.
