Spaghetti with anchovies | Jacques Pépin Cooking At Home | KQED

(bright music) - Hi, I'm Jacques Pepin and I'm Cooking at Home. I like simple recipe with pasta, spaghetti, I love spaghetti too. And here I have half a pound of spaghetti for two people, my wife and I so that's fine. I put that to cook and you know it will cook between from 11 minutes to 15 minutes depending how you like it. So here, what you want to do is to extend your pasta so that kind of melt into the water. And there's a hundred different types of sauce that I do with that. This one is quite simple. I have one little container of anchovies here. This is two ounces. So I'll put the oil in there. And put my anchovies on the table to cut it. I have three cloves of garlic that I'm going to crush. Okay, to remove the shell, cut it in half. (knife smacking) All right. Well, you have a good tablespoon, tablespoon and the half of garlic. That can of anchovy filet have about eight eight in there. There it goes. And I have half of a jalapeno paper here. And the one that I use, jalapeno pepper like this, I usually you know test it. Because, this one is pretty hot. So sometime it's like a, a green paper and sometimes it's really hot That in there. I'm gonna put a couple of tablespoon of Parmesan cheese in there. I'm gonna put like two tablespoons of olive oil, one, two and that's it. This is my sauce. What I do when I'm really close to serving it. Even now, I put that in the microwave oven one minute, one and a half minutes. That's enough to cook the garlic and stuff like this. Okay, my pasta is cooked. Now, what I do usually is I pick up about half a cup of liquid that I keep there. And I'll drain the pasta. I want it nicely drained? And now that was in the microwave for like 10 minutes. So, I'm putting the pasta in there. And of course stirring it. Stirring it. I have half a pound of pasta, now it's more than enough for two or three people. And, you know, depending on how long I'm going to make it wait. if that's sit there five or six minutes, all of that water will be gone. I want to put some more, some parsley you know on top. Parsley here. Definitely a little bit of a bit that I can add here. And all of those anchovies in the bottom here. Anchovies and garlic, cheese on top and maybe a little dash of oil. And this is it. Spaghetti with anchovy and garlic, delicious. Happy cooking. (upbeat music)
