How to prepare Spaghetti with tomato, anchovies, and pecorino

To prepare spaghetti with tomato, anchovies, and pecorino, clean the fresh anchovies: remove the head, make a cut along the back, and gut them, rinse under running water and open the fillets like a book 1. In a pan, heat oil, garlic 2, and minced fresh chili pepper 3. Let flavor for a few minutes and remove the garlic.

Add the peeled tomatoes 4, slightly salt, and let cook for 20 minutes on medium heat. Dip the cleaned anchovies into the sauce 5 and cook for a few minutes, just enough to color them. Stir gently to avoid mashing them 6.

Cook the pasta until al dente 7, then drain it 8 into the sauce for a quick toss 9.

Add a ladle of the pasta cooking water 10, a drizzle of oil 11, and finally the grated Pecorino Romano cheese 12.
