Sicilian Anchovy Pasta
"An old italian showed me this, don't know if it's true sicilian, but it sure is easy and good if you like anchovies. This is how he cooked it, I love this version just as it is."

ingredients
- 2 (4 ounce) cans anchovies packed in oil, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 small onion, minced
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 lb pasta
directions
- I dont remember how big the anchovy cans are, but they are those little oblong cans twith the fillets in olive oil.
- Cook pasta, open the anchovy cans and use the olive oil in them to coat the pasta so it doesnt stick together. set aside.
- Add more olive oil to a skillet, enough to coat all the pasta well later on. (Not much since it is already coated).
- Saute the garlic and onions in the olive oil.
- Add the chopped ahchovies and a good bit of pepper. (a lot of black pepper is good in this).
- Pour the mixture over pasta and mix well to coat all the pasta, serve as it is with no cheese or other toppings.
- **If you add fresh chopped basil and a touch of lemon juice, it completely changes the dish. I like both of them.**.

I guess I've been around that apple tree a few times, today I'm a full time student at Delta State University. My new neighbors call me Emeril and appear every Thursday evening to see what I've conjured up. It seems that in the land of Southern cooking, italian and Cajun are big hits that they dont get to enjoy very much. Most of the women around here seem to be amazed that I can cook something besides hamburgers and steaks on the grill. I actually have one neighbor who calls me three times a week, and she asks me if I'm making any garlic bread today! hehehe
I enjoy the outdoors, gardening and just being outside. I also like computers I suppose. The food network isn't bad either! I guess my favorite cookbook would be the one I use the most, that's the RecipeZaar! I also like to watch Emeril and Paula Deen doing their thing.
