Instructions

For each 8 oz of pasta, sauté four cloves of chopped garlic in 1/4 cup of olive oil on low heat until softened, do not brown. Add 1 can of anchovies (packed flat in olive oil, including the oil) and stir briskly with a fork until the anchovies dissolve. Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and simmer the sauce very low.

While the garlic is cooking, cook the pasta in salted water (use about 2 tablespoons of salt). When the pasta is cooked to your desired consistency, drain it and add to a bowl, reserving 1/4 of the cooking water.

Add the anchovy sauce to the pasta, ensuring to get all of it with a spatula. Toss the pasta with the sauce. Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve the desired consistency. Taste for salt. Add sardines fresh from the can.

Serve immediately. Fine bread crumbs are optional on the side. Optionally, add some Pecorino Romano cheese.
