Ingredients
 

  • 1 anchovy
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • chilli flakes
  • tomato paste
  • 80 grams pasta your choice (I like bucatini)
  • pumpkin seeds
  • basil leaves
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil
  • parmesan to serve

Instructions
 

  • Cook your pasta in salted boiling water according to the packet's instructions (but taste it as you go, you want it to still have some bite).
  • Meanwhile in a frying pan add a good glug (4-5 tablespoons) of olive oil and the garlic. Put on a low heat and cook for a couple of minutes. You don't want the garlic to burn, just perfume the oil
  • Next add the anchovies (dw they will melt into the sauce, anchovy haters!) a pinch of chilli flakes and a good squeeze of tomato paste. Cook everything down for 2-3 minutes.
  • When the pasta is almost cooked, add into the sauce with a mugful of pasta water. You want to cook the pasta into the sauce for a couple of.minutes, so the sauce thickens and goes glossy.
  •  Plate up and serve with a scattering of pumpkin seeds, basil and a grating of parmesan.
