Anchovygarlicspread Recipes

ANCHOVY GARLIC SPREAD

Steps:

• Saute' garlic in oil (do not brown).
• Add anchovies and cook/saute for a few minutes.
• Put mixture in blender or food processor and puree.
• Spread onto sliced French, Sour Dough or Italian bread.
• Cover each slice with desired amount of cheese.
• Place under broiler until the cheese becomes bubbly.
• Note: if you are not terribly fond of anchovies (very salty fish) I would put on a thinner spread.

QUICK ANCHOVY AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• 1/2 pound pasta for 2 generous servings.
• Prepare the sauce while the pasta water is boiling.
• I like to use vermicelli.
• In a small skillet melt the butter.
• Add minced garlic.
• Cook until golden brown until it smells toasted.
• Do not let it scorch or it will taste bitter.
• When the garlic is golden brown, add the entire can of anchovies, including oil and the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Cook and stir until the anchovies dissolve.
• If the pasta is not cooked yet, turn off the heat.
• When the pasta is cooked, finish the sauce.
• Add light cream to the sauce, and cook until it comes to a rolling boil.
• Pour over the well drained pasta and toss vigorously.
• Serve with parmesan cheese.
