Cantabrian Anchovies in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (3-Pack)
Ingredients
- • Anchovy Butter (1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temp and mixed with 4-6 Fishwife Anchovies)
- • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- • 3 Fishwife anchovy fillets (optional - for breadcrumbs!)
- • 1 pound pasta
- • Kosher salt, to taste
- • 1 lemon, zested and juice
- • Fresh dill, for garnish
Directions
- In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons anchovy butter over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and anchovies (if using) and toss to combine. Use the back of a wooden spatula to gently mash anchovies. Cook until breadcrumbs are deep golden brown.
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions (al dente). Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain pasta. Add pasta back to same pot with remaining anchovy butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pasta water (you may not use it all). Mix until sauce is glossy. Season to taste with salt.
- Spoon into bowls and top with breadcrumbs, fresh dill, and more lemon. Serve immediately.
