Recipe30: Sicilian Style Spaghetti – A Simple 20-minute Meal

A tasty spaghetti meal with the flavours of Sicily. This recipe uses a mixed variety of olives and cherry tomatoes, resulting in a beautiful and appetising rainbow of colours. It also contains garlic, chili, anchovies and capers for those tasty, delicious flavours.

A quick meal to make, if organized,, it should be done by the time the pasta is cooked, including boiling time, usually under 20 minutes.

I used the beautiful milder white anchovies, if you can’t find them, use the regular ones and halve the amount as they are stronger.

If you season your pasta water correctly (a little less salty than sea water), then no further seasoning is required. The anchovies, olives and cheese are salty enough. Enjoy this Sicilian Style spaghetti today!
