Steps:
- Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
- While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.

ANCHOVY PâTé
Greek chef and restaurateur Theodore Kyriakou (widely considered to be the finest Greek chef in Britain) says of this recipe: "This dish is best made with the strongly flavoured salted anchovy fillets (be sure to rinse them well), but the anchovies from tins or jars will do as well. You can either use a food processor or pound everything with a pestle and mortar. This paste will keep for several weeks in the fridge and is served on biscuits or bread." This recipe is from his book 'real greek food', which he co-authored with food writer Charles Campion. It's obviously a recipe for those who love anchovies! I'm posting it here for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

FAST TOMATO SAUCE WITH ANCHOVIES
Despite their reputation, anchovies are not overpowering, at least once cooked. Used with garlic as the start of a fast pasta sauce, they dissolve almost instantly and add a mysteriously meaty complexity that makes the sauce seem as if it had simmered for hours. Tossed with linguine and arugula, they make a simple dish sophisticated. If you're feeding a crowd, it doubles or triples beautifully.

Steps:
- Put the olive oil in a deep skillet, and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic and the anchovies, and stir. When the garlic sizzles and the anchovies break up, add the tomatoes.
- Turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes saucy, about 15 minutes. Season to taste, and serve with spaghetti or other long pasta. Grated pecorino Romano cheese goes well with this sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right anchovies: Use high-quality anchovies preserved in salt or oil. Look for anchovies that are plump and have a silvery-gray color.
- Rinse and dry the anchovies: Before using, rinse the anchovies under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Remove the anchovy bones: To remove the anchovy bones, use your fingers to gently pull them out. You can also use a small pair of scissors to snip them out.
- Chop the anchovies finely: Once the anchovies are boned, chop them finely. This will help them to dissolve and distribute their flavor throughout the dish.
- Use anchovies sparingly: Anchovies have a strong flavor, so use them sparingly. A little bit goes a long way.
- Experiment with different ways to use anchovies: Anchovies can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads and pasta sauces to pizzas and dips. Experiment with different recipes to find new ways to enjoy this versatile ingredient.
Conclusion:
Anchovies are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can add a unique flavor to your dishes.
