Yesterday, Blind Pig Bistro’s Chef Matt Fortner looked towards new opportunities at Blind Pig and beyond. The opportunity to work with new ingredients at the restaurant hasn’t dampened Fortner’s fondness for classic pasta dishes, which started with a plate of spaghetti and anchovies. “When Chef Ryan Weed [from How to Cook a Wolf] first made this dish for me, it made me realize that pasta would definitely be a passion for me,” said Fortner. The recipe can be tweaked to serve personal tastes, but Fortner doesn’t believe in changing a good thing. “Some may serve this dish with mint instead of parsley. However, I strongly advise against this as it adversely changes the flavor balance.” Spaghetti and Anchoviesserves 6-8 people1 pound of dried spaghetti1 1/4 cups extra virgin olive oil1 head of garlic thinly sliced18-20 anchovies minced1 tablespoon crushed red chilies1/4 cup chopped parsley1/4 cup parmesan cheeseInstructions:Boil pasta in salted water until al dente.
