Spaghetti Anchovies

I always make spaghetti con alici, or pasta with anchovies, and last night was especially awesome. Super simple: garlic, olive oil (use the stuff that come with the fish plus a little more), good jar of chovies, some red pepper and finish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan. I fried the garlic until slightly golden then added chopped chovies and kept going until they were 100% dissolved. Usually I pull back a little because I thought I like the little chunks of fish that were left over. Nope. Total disintegration resulted in this slurry that turned the pasta brownish. It was spectacular. I always make spaghetti con alici, or pasta with anchovies, and last night was especially awesome.
