Servings: persons

salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, peeled
2 -3 dried chilies (optional) or 1 1/2 teaspoons 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)

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Adjust heat so tomatoes bubble nicely, and cook until mixture becomes saucy, about 5 minutes.
5
Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary (taste first because the anchovies can contribute plenty of salt).
6
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.
