This pasta dish is a staple in my house, as you can quickly prepare the anchovy and cherry tomato sauce while the pasta is cooking. Garlic, parsley, and chile pepper are often combined with anchovies as an aromatic base. In this case, the anchovies are slowly melted in the warm olive oil along with finely minced garlic and chile pepper before adding the cherry tomatoes.
This is one of those clever recipes made with pantry ingredients that can feed a crowd in no time—at once cheap, flavorful, and satisfying.
