FRESH & CHUNKY ROASTED TOMATOES WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC & BASIL

• Combine everything in a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish, mix well.
• Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes or until tomatoes are tender, wrinkled and starting to brown at edges.

FAST TOMATO SAUCE WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a deep skillet, and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic and the anchovies, and stir. When the garlic sizzles and the anchovies break up, add the tomatoes.
• Turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes saucy, about 15 minutes. Season to taste, and serve with spaghetti or other long pasta. Grated pecorino Romano cheese goes well with this sauce.

TOMATO & ANCHOVY RISOTTO WITH CRISPY CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat half the oil from the anchovies in a saucepan. Add the anchovy fillets and onion and cook for 5 mins to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the rice, stir to coat in the oil, then cook for 2 mins until the grains turn translucent.
• Add the stock, a ladle at a time, making sure the liquid is absorbed before you add the next and stirring continuously while cooking. Once you've added half the stock, tip in the tomatoes.
• Continue cooking and adding the stock until the rice is cooked but still has a little bite - the risotto should be oozy but not soupy. Season to taste, turn off the heat, put a lid on and leave for 5 mins.
• Heat the remaining anchovy oil in a frying pan, add the breadcrumbs and toss until evenly golden. Serve the risotto in bowls with the crispy crumbs, basil leaves (if you like), and shaved Parmesan scattered on top.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil for pasta.

Add tomatoes with reserved juice, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Add capers, prosciutto, basil or parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
• Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente and drain in a colander. In a large bowl toss pasta with sauce and serve with Parmesan.
