Ingredients
- 200 g spaghetti
- 80 ml (⅓ cup) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 anchovies, chopped
- ¼ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
- ½ cup chopped parsley leaves
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- large handful grated parmesan
- sea salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente.
- When the pasta is nearly ready, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil, garlic, anchovies and chilli flakes if using and stir until the garlic is just golden. Add the parsley and stir for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Using tongs, drain the pasta straight from the water to the frying pan, taking some of the cooking water along with it and stir to combine well. Add the lemon juice, a little parmesan and a bit more of the pasta cooking water if necessary. Season to taste.
- Serve scattered with a little extra parsley, a good helping of parmesan and another drizzle of oil.
