Linguine With Caramelized Onions and Anchovies

"Found this recipe from the Food Network (Emeril Live). It's delicious! Whether you're an anchovy-lover or not, try this recipe -- it's sweet, salty, and a little nutty (not fishy at all). I substitute whole-wheat pasta, split this recipe in half, toast some crusty bread, and it's the perfect dinner for 2."

directions

  • Set a large, 1-gallon stock pot with a pasta insert 3/4 full with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add 1/4 cup of the salt to the water as it boils. Place the linguine in the salted water and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the pasta until nearly al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • While the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter to the pan and, once the butter melts, add the onions.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and anchovies to the pan, stirring until fragrant and the anchovies have melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the drained pasta and the reserved pasta cooking water to the pan and season with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, pepper, and parsley.
  • Cook, tossing to combine, until the pasta is heated through and the water is nearly evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the toasted bread crumbs and toss to combine. Serve while hot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello Recipezaar! I consider myself a beginner cook, trying to convert my love for food into the great art of cooking. I'm definitely a foodie -- spoiled by all of the great restaurants that the San Francisco Bay Area have to offer -- but now I'm making a conscious effort to learn how to cook (and cook well!).
