The story behind this recipe
We can also call this a 'crisis recipe' (though I don't like that word at all), but it really is a very cheap, fragrant, and tasty recipe.
This pasta is made with leftover bread, which is a shame to throw away.
For 2 people we need:
200 grams of pasta
100 grams of crumbled stale bread
1 garlic clove
Chili pepper to your preference
4 anchovies
Parsley
Grated parmesan

Leave on the heat until the anchovies melt completely and the bread is crispy.
Remove the cooked pasta from the water and add it to the pan.
Mix well, so that all the ingredients combine (you'll be surprised by the taste of the bread...), for about 1 minute.
Sprinkle with parsley and parmesan to taste, and it's ready to serve.
Delicious, right?
