Ingredients
 

  • 3 floz olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 oz can anchovy fillets drained
  • 1 lb dried spaghetti
  • 2 oz pesto sauce
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh oregano
  • 3 oz grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving (optional)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 fresh oregano sprigs to garnish

Instructions

  • Reserve 1 tbsp of the oil and heat the remainder in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and fry for 3 minutes.
  • Lower the heat, stir in the anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, until the anchovies have disintegrated.
  • Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and the remaining olive oil and cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until just tender, but still firm to the bite.
  • Add the Pesto Sauce and chopped fresh oregano to the anchovy mixture and then season with pepper to taste.
  • Drain the spaghetti, using a slotted spoon, and transfer to a warm serving dish. Pour the Pesto Sauce over the spaghetti and then sprinkle over the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Garnish with oregano sprigs and serve with extra cheese, if using.
  • If you find canned anchovies rather too salty, soak them in a saucer of cold milk for 5 minutes, drain and pat dry with kitchen paper (kitchen towels) before using. The milk absorbs the salt.
