How to Create Anchovy and Tomato Pasta

Today’s featured dish is Anchovy and Tomato Pasta, compliments of our personal chef, Robbie Burgess. From fast food to fine dining, Chef Burgess has seduced the palates of thousands of food-lovers for nearly a decade in the United States and abroad.

Born in Coventry, England, Chef Burgess and his family immigrated to America when he was an infant. As they settled in Hattiesburg, Miss., Chef Burgess developed a passion for cooking and teaching. After graduating high school, Chef Burgess went on to earn a teaching degree in history from the University of Southern Mississippi, located in Hattiesburg. He would also discover the love of his life, Dawn. After marrying her in 2005, Dawn and Chef Burgess relocated to England where he continued to sharpen his craft and entice the young minds of high school students with his knowledge of history.  After spending three years in his homeland, Chef Burgess and his wife returned to Hattiesburg where his skills remain in high demand, both in the kitchen and in area classrooms.

Anchovy and Tomato Pasta

Ingredients:

1 can anchovy fillets (drained)

Small onion (diced)

Olive oil

1 pint plum or grape tomatoes (cut in half)

2 cloves garlic (diced)

1 cup dry white wine

½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Black pepper

Capers

Fresh basil (chopped)

Pasta noodles

Parmesan cheese and green onions to garnish

Preparation:

Cook noodles in water according to directions on package and drain.

Sauté onions in olive oil for 3-4 minutes then add garlic and anchovies.

Constantly stir with a fork on low heat until anchovies break apart (just a few minutes).

Add white wine and simmer until reduced by half.

Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and black pepper. No salt is needed - the anchovies are salty enough.

Cook on medium heat for 20-25 minutes. Tomatoes will cook down producing a liquid for sauce.

Turn heat off and add capers and fresh basil.

In a large bowl combine sauce with pasta. Garnish with parmesan cheese, fresh basil and green onions.

Bon Appétit!
