Staples Pasta<\/p>\nStaples Pasta<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
12 oz. spaghetti or other long pasta<\/p>\n
Kosher salt<\/p>\n
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling<\/p>\n
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets (optional)<\/p>\n
\u00bc tsp. crushed red pepper flakes<\/p>\n
4 T. unsalted butter, cut into pieces<\/p>\n
\u00be cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving<\/p>\n
Freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n
\u2153 cup finely chopped parsley<\/p>\n
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest<\/p>\n
1T. fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions. Meanwhile, cook garlic and \u00bc cup oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, about 4 minutes. Add anchovies (if using) and red pepper flakes and cook, smashing anchovies with a wooden spoon to break them up, until anchovies begin to dissolve, about 1 minute. Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with garlic and anchovies, then add butter, \u00be cup Parmesan, 1\u00bc cups pasta cooking liquid, and lots of black pepper. Cook, tossing energetically and adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until pasta is al dente and sauce is thickened and coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Divide pasta among bowls; drizzle with oil and top with more Parmesan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
