LINGUINE WITH ANCHOVY AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain well.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chile paste, anchovy juice and anchovy fillet.
• Add the pasta, top with the grated cheese and toss well, adding enough reserved pasta water to create a sauce. Add the arugula, mint and walnuts, and toss well.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES, CURRANTS, FENNEL, AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add anchovies; mash with back of fork. Add onion, fennel, and red pepper. Sauté vegetables until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, pine nuts, and currants. Reduce heat to low and cook 5 minutes to blend flavors; season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Add saffron to reserved liquid and stir to dissolve. Return pasta and saffron water to pot. Add tomato mixture; toss over low heat until sauce coats pasta. Mix in breadcrumbs and transfer to bowl.

SPAGHETTI WITH WALNUTS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring 5 to 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add about 3 tablespoons of sea salt, then add the spaghetti and cook until it offers considerable resistance to the tooth, approximately three-quarters of the package-recommended cooking time. Drain the pasta, reserving 2 cups of the starchy pasta cooking water.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the walnuts on an ungreased baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant, shaking occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the garlic is lightly colored, about 5 minutes. Add the anchovies, along with their oil, and cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
• Cook the pasta in the boiling water until it is tender but not mushy; drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the water. Dilute the anchovy sauce with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta-cooking water. Toss the pasta, sauce, and walnuts together, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
• No anchovies: In step 2, put 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and 1/2 cup bread crumbs, preferably fresh (page 580). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant, then stir in the walnuts. Meanwhile, cook and drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with the walnut mixture, along with as much of the cooking liquid as is necessary to moisten the dish (it should not be wet). Garnish and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH WALNUTS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Begin heating a large pot of water over high heat. Meanwhile, lightly toast the walnuts on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven for just a few minutes until fragrant, or in a pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When the walnuts smell like they're beginning to toast, remove them from the heat and transfer to a clean dish towel. Wrap them in the towel, and rub between your hands to remove some of the papery shells. Chop the nuts medium-fine, and set aside.
• In a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan large enough to accommodate the cooked spaghetti, heat the oil over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until it begins to sizzle, and add the anchovies. Cook, mashing the anchovies with the back of your spoon or with a fork, for about 30 seconds until they begin to fall apart and melt into the oil. Add the walnuts, stir together for about a minute and remove from the heat.
• When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the spaghetti. Cook al dente, following the timing recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is almost done, add 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan with the walnuts and anchovies, and reheat over medium heat.
• When the pasta is ready, drain and toss with the walnut and anchovy mixture. Add the parsley, adjust salt if necessary and add pepper. Serve, passing the pecorino at the table.

LINGUINE WITH WALNUTS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Start the sauce in the next step, and start cooking the linguine when the water boils.
• Combine the garlic and oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic, pressing it into the oil occasionally to release its flavor. When it is just beginning to color on one side, add the nuts and the pepper flakes. Remove the garlic when it colors on the other side; cook the sauce another minute or so.
• Add the anchovies, and increase the heat to medium, mashing them into the oil as they cook. As soon as they dissolve, almost immediately, add 1/2 cup of the pasta's cooking water to the pan. Remove the sauce from the heat until the pasta is cooked.
• When the pasta is still a little undercooked -- about 2 minutes less time than usual -- drain it, then turn it into the pan with the sauce. Cook the linguine in the sauce, stirring and tossing constantly, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the linguine are tender. Serve immediately.

SPINACH LINGUINE WITH WALNUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread walnut halves on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook linguine in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain; return to pot.
• Process half of walnuts, cream, and garlic in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Toss with pasta, remaining walnuts, Parmesan, and parsley. Serve with more Parmesan.

LINGUINE WITH GARLIC, BREADCRUMBS, AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working in batches, process bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Heat 1 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add whole garlic; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add breadcrumbs; stir to coat.
• Transfer breadcrumb mixture to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels; discard garlic.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add pasta; cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
• Heat remaining 1/2 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add minced garlic; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in anchovy fillets and chiles; cook, 2 minutes. Add pasta to skillet; toss to coat. Add lemon juice and all but 2 tablespoons parsley. Toss, adding up to 1 cup pasta liquid if pasta seems dry.
• Season with pepper. Divide among serving dishes; top each serving with some of the breadcrumbs and lemon zest. Garnish with remaining parsley.
