Spaghetti with Anchovy Sauce
I know that some people have a very strong opinion about anchovies. Either they like them or they do not. If you are the ones like me who were a anchovy hater, I wish you would give this recipe a try. 
Honestly, I was an anchovy snob too. I saw anchovies as those cheap curled up nasty salty things put on top of pizzas.
I have discovered while making this recipe that anchovies have a salty mellow nutty taste. They have a savory taste not fishy at all.
1/3 cup olive oil Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook stirring occasionally until golden 2-3 minutes. Add anchovy paste and chile flakes cook until browned 5-10 minutes. Reduce heat and add butter and stir until you have a smooth paste

When in Italy I ate this pasta. Love it. I have a new appreciation for anchovies. I agree, the taste is nutty & not fishy like sardines.
I like anchovies,but in other recipes.never thought of them in spaghetti,seems it is good and will give a try!
I have read before about using anchovies in sauces like this. I really do need to get past the whole anchovy thing and give them a try! I will let you know when I do!
