Directions/Steps

• Toast the bread crumbs by putting 3 Tbs of EV olive oil in a saute` pan and adding the bread crumbs.
• Continuously stir the bread crumbs with a wooden spoon until bread crumbs turn golden-light brown. Put aside for later.
• Boil the Mafaldine pasta.
• While the pasta is cooking, in a large saute` pan add 1/2 cup of EV olive oil.
• Cut the anchovies into small pieces.
• When the oil is very hot, add the anchovies to the hot oil, stir the anchovies for 10 seconds and then add  1 cup of pasta water. BE CAREFUL with this step. We suggest that you use a larger than usual saute` pan for as there may be some splashing especially when you add the anchovies to the hot oil.
• Drain the pasta and add the hot oil as condiment. Stir well.
• Serve the pasta and garnish with a generous dose of toasted bread crumbs and a sprinkle of fresh black pepper
