Spaghetti Siciliana is a delicious pasta dish from Italy, inspired by the flavors and ingredients of Sicily. This recipe combines spicy anchovies, aromatic garlic, fresh olives and salty capers with a topping of toasted breadcrumbs. Southern Italian cuisine is characterized by its rich flavor profiles and the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients - and Spaghetti Siciliana is no different.
Heat a dash of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the breadcrumbs and toast lightly. Then put them in a bowl and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a good handful of coarse sea salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the whole garlic clove, drained anchovy fillets and capers and sweat over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir frequently as you do so.
Chop the black olives and add them to the pan with the whole green olives. Now remove the garlic clove. Pour a ladle of pasta water and mix thoroughly.
Drain the finished pasta directly into the pan. Mix everything well and let it rest briefly.
Finally, place on deep plates, sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs and serve hot.Buon appetito!
