Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a low heat and fry the garlic for 2-3 mins, or until just turning golden at the edges. Remove from the heat and leave for 15 mins for the garlic to infuse in the oil.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 150ml of the cooking water. Remove the garlic from the infused oil, then tip in the cooked spaghetti, the chillies, anchovies, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and the parmesan. Add 50ml of the reserved water and toss with tongs until combined. Add a little more water to loosen, if you like. Season. Divide between four shallow bowls.

For real people, cooking according to what's available, some adjustments:

500g Spaghetti 2* 50g tins anchovies 1 big unwaxed lemon. If not unwaxed, rub with kitchen roll. 1 and a half small lemons, but maybe start with 1 and test for lemony-ness. Garlic -…

Formatting broken. Annoying.

It was delicious, next time am going to use more anchovies for flavour and less oil though as it was swimming in it!

I wasn't getting much anchovy or chilli or garlic - very lemony though!

question

Why discard the garlic?

Hi, thanks for your question. In this particular recipe the whole garlic cloves are used to infuse the oil before being removed. Whilst we wouldn't recommend leaving them in the pasta you could use them in other dishes or to rub on toast with a drizzle of olive oil for a quick garlic bread to serve…
