Spaghetti with Garlic, Red Peppers & Anchovies

  • 8 ounces dry GF spaghetti, cooked according to package directions

  • 2 ounce can anchovies packed in olive oil, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dry red pepper flakes

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well.

Meanwhile, in a small pot combine the anchovies, garlic and red pepper flakes. Fill the anchovy can with a little of the water from the boiling spaghetti. Pour this water in the pot  with the anchovies. Simmer the mixture over a medium-low flame for about 5 minutes, or until the anchovies disintegrate and the garlic swells a little bit.

Add this sauce to the drained spaghetti and toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Divide between 4 bowls. If desired top with fried bread crumbs or a little Vegan Parmesan. Spinach or green beans are good accompaniments.

This may be my favorite recipe in the whole book. A traditional homestyle Italian dish, it's spicy, salty, warm, filling and delicious, especially when I'm tired, irritated and can't bear the though of preparing anything more complicated. If you love anchovies this dish will become pure comfort food. If you don't like them, skip this recipe all together—there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.  Use hospitality one to another without grudging.  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.--1 Peter 4:8-10
