FAST TOMATO SAUCE WITH ANCHOVIES



Fast Tomato Sauce With Anchovies image

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.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic

ANCHOVIES IN TOMATO SAUCE WITH PASTA



Anchovies in Tomato Sauce with Pasta image

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     Fish     Nut     Pasta     Tomato     Valentine's Day

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and very finely sliced
2 big handfuls of pine nuts
A big handful of raisins
12 salted anchovy fillets
3 heaping tablespoons tomato purée
a large wineglass of red wine
1 3/4 cups stale bread crumbs
1 pound dried margherita pasta

Steps:

  • Heat a pan, add 6 tablespoons of olive oil, then add your garlic and fry slowly. As it begins to color, add the pine nuts, raisins, and anchovies and continue frying for 2 minutes, until the anchovies have melted. Add the tomato purée and the wine and stir in well. Leave to simmer on a medium heat for 3 minutes. The sauce should be quite thick, like tomato sauce, but if you think it needs thinning down, add a little water. Heat a little olive oil in a separate pan, add the bread crumbs and fry until toasted, crunchy, and golden. Leave to cool on paper towels. Meanwhile, cook your pasta in boiling salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and mix with the sauce. Check the seasoning and divide onto 4 plates, twizzling the pasta with tongs as you go. Serve sprinkled with the bread crumbs.

TOMATOES WITH BASIL AND ANCHOVIES



Tomatoes With Basil and Anchovies image

A great tomato salad starts with great tomatoes. Buy ripe tomatoes in season from the market or farm stand, or, even better, pick them straight from the garden. The anchovies (they are rinsed briefly to tame them) are an important feature, the perfect counterpoint to the tomatoes' sweetness. Add a large handful of aromatic basil leaves just before serving.

2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, diced

3 pounds ripe tomatoes, any size, cut in wedges, slices or halves
1 1/2 cups basil leaves, not too big, washed and dried

Steps:

MARK BITTMAN'S PASTA WITH GARLIC, TOMATOES AND ANCHOVIES



Mark Bittman's Pasta With Garlic, Tomatoes and Anchovies image

I'm an anchovy-lover. If you are one too, you will like this. If you know an anchovy-hater, don't tell them and I bet they won't even know. The anchovies completely break down into the sauce. Of course you need excellent anchovies, and that means ones that are packed in olive oil, preferably from Italy or Spain.

Provided by Gay Gilmore

Categories     Penne

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, peeled
2 -3 dried chilies (optional) or 1 1/2 teaspoons chili pepper flakes (optional)
20 anchovy fillets, approximately
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb cut pasta (bittman recommends penne but I prefer something with more to it, like cavatelli or gemelli)
chopped fresh parsley leaves (to garnish)
grated parmesan cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it for the pasta -- you should be able to make the entire recipe as the pasta cooks.
  • Put olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add garlic and chilies, if using -- cook garlic so it bubbles gently.
  • When it is lightly browned all over, add anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute, until anchovies begin to fall apart, then add tomatoes.
  • Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary (taste first because the anchovies can contribute plenty of salt).
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. When it is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Serve pasta with sauce and parsley.

ROASTED TOMATOES WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC AND PARSLEY



Roasted Tomatoes with Anchovies, Garlic and Parsley image

Provided by Lucia Luhan

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Fish     Garlic     Herb     Tomato     Roast     Low Carb     Summer     Parsley     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds large plum tomatoes, each cut lengthwise into 6 wedges
10 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange tomatoes, rounded side down, in single layer in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle with anchovies, parsley, garlic and dried red pepper, then salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil. Bake tomatoes uncovered until tender, wrinkled and starting to brown at edges, about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final flavor of the sauce. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are sweet and juicy.
  • Don't skimp on the anchovies: Anchovies add a salty, umami flavor to the sauce that is essential for a well-rounded flavor. Don't be afraid to use a whole tin of anchovies, even if it seems like a lot. They will dissolve completely into the sauce and you won't even notice them.
  • Cook the sauce slowly: A slow simmer allows the flavors to meld and develop. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a sauce that is flat and one-dimensional.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Every tomato sauce is different, so be sure to taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to get the perfect flavor.
  • Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta: This sauce is perfect for serving with any type of pasta. Some popular choices include spaghetti, penne, and rigatoni.

Conclusion:

This fast tomato sauce with anchovies is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up ripe tomatoes from your garden. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and versatile sauce that will please the whole family.
