Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound thick spaghetti
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 oz 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 4-6 Calabrian chilis minced
  • 6-8 anchovy filets
  • ½ cup finely grated pecorino romano plus more for serving
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • ¼ cup each chopped fresh dill and parsley
  • Extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper for serving

Instructions
 

  • Bring a shallow amount of water to a boil over high heat. Season with a touch of salt (not as much as you normally would for pasta as we are using less water here!)**
  • Drop pasta into boiling water and stir.
  • While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat.
  • Add in garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add in Calabrian chilis and anchovies and cook, stirring, until the anchovies melt into the butter. Add in a couple splashes of pasta water to create a sauce and to stop the garlic and anchovies from cooking further.
  • Once pasta is just a touch under al dente, add it to the pan with the butter along with another splash or two of pasta water.
  • Continue to cook pasta in the butter sauce, stirring constantly until the pasta is al dente and a creamy sauce is created. Add more pasta water as necessary.
  • Stir in cheese and, again, add more pasta water if needed.
  • Stir in lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with salt.
  • Stir in herbs.
  • Serve topped with more pecorino, olive oil and black pepper.

Notes

*I would make sure to prep all the ingredients before starting cooking, as this dish comes together very quick!
**I do less water to create a very starchy pasta water that helps create a nice glossy butter sauce.
