Anchovy Radicchio Pasta

Ingredients

Intro

This is a polarizing recipe with very strong flavor. If you don’t like anchovies, don’t bother.

Directions

  1. Bring salted water to a boil and dump in the bowties. Let them cook to al dente over 10-12 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

  2. Take the anchovies and garlic and mince them together into a paste. Mix with the oil from the anchovy tin, along with the lemon juice, until it is the consistency of a sauce.

  3. Wash the radicchio and cut coarsely. Wilt in a pan with some olive oil over a couple of minutes, then add in the sauce.

  4. Cook it down for a few minutes, then when pasta is ready, add it to the sauce and toss.

  5. Add in a little bit of the starchy pasta water, toss again, and serve. Add salt to taste, but anchovies should already be salty.
