Method

1

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 3 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain.

2

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until they start to blister, then add garlic, chopped anchovies, and chili flakes. Cook for a further 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in the juice of half a lemon and some chopped parsley. Press the tomatoes with the spoon to burst.

3

In a separate pan, toast the breadcrumbs with garlic granules and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat until golden and crisp, around 6-8 mins.

4

Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the tomato mixture, along with the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.

5

Serve topped with the toasted breadcrumbs, a drizzle of olive oil, and extra parsley.
