Pasta with anchovies melted into olive oil and garlic, topped with toasted breadcrumbs.
Taste translation
If you like anchovy pasta or aglio e olio - this is the Sicilian poor man’s version, with crispy breadcrumb ‘cheese’.
Zen's note
Breadcrumbs replace cheese here — they call it ‘the cheese of the poor.’ Simple, salty, umami-packed. Cucina povera at its best.
