PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC, CHILES AND KALE



Pasta With Anchovies, Garlic, Chiles and Kale image

If you don't have an after-work, go-to pasta dish, this may fill the void. The backbone of flavor comes from pantry staples - a pungent mix of anchovies, garlic, red pepper flakes and capers, which gives pasta more than enough character for a satisfying dinner. But kale (or chard, spinach or other greens) adds a fresh, earthy flavor and enough vegetable content to turn it into a one-dish meal.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Salt, as needed
1/2 pound pasta
3 tablespoons good olive oil, more for drizzling
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, to taste
4 fat garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
2 tablespoons drained capers, patted dry with a paper towel to encourage browning
4 anchovy filets
1 small bunch kale, chopped (or use 3 large handfuls chopped kale)
Black pepper
Squeeze of lemon, optional
Grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in the largest skillet you have. Add chiles and a pinch of salt and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add smashed garlic, capers and anchovies. Let cook until everything is golden, the capers look crisp around the edges and the anchovies have dissolved into the oil, about 3 to 4 minutes. (You can help anchovies dissolve by mashing them with a wooden spoon as they cook.) Add kale and 2 tablespoons water and sauté until kale wilts and cooks in the pan and is well coated with oil, about 5 minutes. You might have to add more water if the water evaporates before the kale finishes cooking.
  • Add drained pasta and toss well. Add more salt if necessary and plenty of black pepper, and serve drizzled with more oil and a squeeze of lemon if the dish needs a lift. Cheese isn't necessary but if you like pecorino and have some on hand, feel free to shower it on top.

PANTRY PASTA WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVIES, AND PARMESAN



Pantry Pasta with Garlic, Anchovies, and Parmesan image

This dish is for when a 3 p.m. hang turns into a dinner party or when you've had too long of a day at work. But just because it's comfort food doesn't mean there aren't techniques. They're the same ones that go into every restaurant pasta you've ever loved: Salt the boiling water; cook the pasta al dente; create a silky sauce that marries pasta water, Parmesan, olive oil, and butter.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pasta     Anchovy     Garlic     Quick & Easy     Parmesan     Parsley     Lemon

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 oz. spaghetti or other long pasta
Kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets (optional)
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
  • Meanwhile, cook garlic and 1/4 cup oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, about 4 minutes. Add anchovies (if using) and red pepper flakes and cook, smashing anchovies with a wooden spoon to break them up, until anchovies begin to dissolve, about 1 minute.
  • Add 1 1/4 cups pasta cooking liquid along with 1 cup Parmesan to pot with anchovies and garlic and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Using tongs, add pasta to pot, then add butter and lots of black pepper. Cook, tossing energetically and adding more cooking liquid if needed, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Divide pasta among bowls; drizzle with oil and top with more Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pasta. Long, thin pasta like spaghetti or linguine are best for this dish, as they can easily be twirled around a fork.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much pasta to the pan, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Al dente is the ideal texture for pasta.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water. This water can be used to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • Don't overcook the anchovies. They should just be heated through, otherwise they will become tough and chewy.
  • Add the kale to the pan at the end of cooking. This will help it to retain its bright green color.
  • Season the dish to taste with salt and pepper.

    Conclusion:

    This pasta dish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor from the anchovies, garlic, chiles, and kale. The dish is also very versatile, as you can add other ingredients to your liking, such as sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or capers. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
