Vermicelli Alla Sangiovannello Recipe
This is also called Midsummer Pasta, since in Italy on the night of the longest day of the year this dish is served: symbolically long cuts of pasta with a simple sauce of olive oil, garlic, anchovies, and tomatoes.

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (don't pick a fruity, green one though)
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 6 oil-packed anchovies, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lb (4-5) plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped (in Winter, use a 15 oz can diced tomatoes)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 2 tbsp chopped black olives
  • 1/3 cup minced Italian parsley
  • 1 lb spaghetti

Directions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot.
  2. Add garic and cook until soft, 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the anchovies and cook, mashing them into the garlic mixture, 5 minutes.
  4. Add the broth and chopped tomatoes and cook 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the pepper flakes, and cook a few minutes more to blend the flavors.
  6. Add the remaining ingredients (except the pasta) and simmer 5-6 minutes more.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the pasta until almost done, about 2 minutes shy of "al dente".
  8. Drain, and add it to the pan with the sauce.
  9. Toss, and allow to cook 2 minutes.
