Ingredients:

Serving

salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, peeled
2 -3 dried chilies ( optional) or 1 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes (optional)
20 anchovy fillets, approximately
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb cut pasta (bittman recommends penne but i prefer something with more to it , like cavatelli or gemelli)
chopped fresh parsley leaves (to garnish )
grated parmesan cheese (to garnish )

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it for the pasta - you should be able to make the entire recipe as the pasta cooks.
Put olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add garlic and chilies, if using - cook garlic so it bubbles gently.
When it is lightly browned all over, add anchovies and cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute, until anchovies begin to fall apart, then add tomatoes.
Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary (taste first because the anchovies can contribute plenty of salt).
Meanwhile, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. When it is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water to thin sauce if necessary. Serve pasta with sauce and parsley.
