My secret fishy spaghetti recipe 私人珍藏魚味意大利麵食譜

That wasn't a click bait. There's nothing suspicious about my spaghetti dish, it really is very fishy. If you like fish, you'll probably like this a lot. This is one of my favourite recipes, my go to when I have nothing in my fridge, as I nearly always have these ingredients in my larder.

不怕魚腥味的朋友，應該會很喜歡我這個私人珍藏魚味意大利麵食譜。 它的材料非常簡單，並沒有鮮魚，魚是來自罐頭的鱈魚子cod roe 和 anchovy。Anchovy 中文不知叫什麼，在網上見到有人說是鯷魚， 有人說是銀魚柳。總之它就是一條條小鹹的魚柳， 煮過後魚骨也會溶掉。 其他材料，當然有意大利麵， 還有小紅蔥頭和 蒜頭。

THE INGREDIENTS

The ingredients to this dish are pretty simple, and there's very little prep required. This is a spaghetti dish, of course there will be spaghetti.

The fishy part comes form anchovies and cod roe. I use tinned ones, one of each. No prep required.

Then I have some shallots and half a clove of garlic that I've chopped finely. This is the hardest part of preparing the whole dish to be honest. These little shallots make my eyes water, that's why I only used four! You can use more if you like.

THE PROCESS

Cooking this dish is really easy, it just takes five steps.

這個菜做法非常簡單。 先把小紅蔥頭和蒜頭切碎，然後下鑊慢火煮軟。同時侯，可以煮意大利麵備用。 小紅蔥頭和蒜頭煮到軟身後，把鯷魚和鱈魚子加到鍋裏煮成一個魚醬。最後， 煮好的意大利麵加到魚醬攪拌就可以了。 做法真的很簡單吧！

1. Cook the spaghetti as per the pack instructions. If the pasta is cooked before you need them, just switch off the heat and keep them in the saucepan.
   

2. Saute the garlic and shallots in some oil till they're soft. Keep it on low heat so they don't burn

3. Add the anchovies. Mine are in olive oil so I tipped everything in and it started to bubble bringing out the aroma. Note how my shallots and garlic are burnt a little as I took my eyes off them for just a few seconds to take photos. 4. When the anchovies have melted, add in the cod roe. They'll gradually disintegrate as well to become a rich fishy sauce.

5.Drain the pasta and tip it in the sauce. Mix well and season with salt and pepper as required.

And that's how easy it is, my 5 step fishy spaghetti. I had a bottle of Cornish bitter with spaghetti, and surprisingly it paired really really well. The bitter intensified the fishy taste, and it actually tasted a bit like salmon spaghetti! It was very nice!

這個菜我配了一瓶啤酒， 剛好把魚的香味帶出來。結果有點鮭魚味，很奇妙喔！
