Pasta with anchovies and capers

Method

1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of well salted boiling water according to the instructions on the packet. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the breadcrumbs. Toast, shaking the pan often, for 2-3 minutes until they’re a light golden colour. Season and transfer to a small plate. While they’re cooking, slice the anchovies finely and crush the garlic.
2. Wipe out the pan using kitchen paper, then heat the remaining oil. Add the anchovies, garlic and capers and cook for a couple of minutes until the garlic starts to give off a mellow aroma, then stir through the lemon zest and juice. Drain the pasta, reserving 50ml cooking water, then add the pasta and remaining water to the anchovy mix in the pan.
3. Toss everything together to coat thoroughly, season generously with black pepper (and salt if needed), then divide among bowls. Toss the toasted breadcrumbs with the parmesan, then sprinkle over to serve.
