Had a couple of cracks at this meself t’ last couple of nights Stu. A real winner I reckon, last night I also added Ricotta cheese, but on balance I found tonight’s without even better.
I also added a baby sweet yellow pepper & some halved green olives to t’ ingredients bill & some Ancho & Chipotle chilli flakes in addition to the fresh red chilli & sliced garlic.
Prolly comes in around £1-50 a portion even using posh spaghetti as the tinned anchovies in olive oil are only 84p a tin.
Under 10 mins start to finish & so simple to get a really nice emulsified sauce.
Yep, it was Monday and the place was very busy, which made it a bit noisy.
That was the only minor negative tho, the food was delicious, the service excellent, and the bonus was that it was not expensive, so they deserve every success…
Also realised I’ve used bucatini so far & not spaghetti.
I’ve upped the baby pepper count & used one red + 2 yellow cut into approx 2cm batons + a large green chilli given the same treatment. Rest of ingredients bill is 50g tin of anchovies in olive oil & halved Queen olives + 3 sliced garlic cloves a teaspoon of red pesto & Ancho + Chipotle chilli flakes & black pepper + three ladles of pasta water to get the final rich emulsified sauce.
Absolutely delicious & very speedy comfort food suitable for all year round!
