Pasta with Anchovies and Walnuts
4 quarts water
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. uncooked linguine
1 1/2 T. extravirgin olive oil
1 T. minced fresh garlic
2 (3.5-oz.) cans anchovies, drained and chopped
1/2 C. chopped walnuts, toasted
2 T. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Bring the water and salt to a boil in a stockpot. Add pasta; cook 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/2 C. cooking liquid. While pasta cooks, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add anchovies, and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Combine anchovy mixture, pasta, and reserved liquid; toss well to coat. Stir in walnuts; sprinkle with parsley.
