Saturday's Receipe - Bigoli in Salsa
Bigoli in salsa is a Veneto traditional pasta I cooked last December 31st dinner. It is very good and simple to make. Here is the receipe:
Ingredients: 4 tablespoons olive oil, a 200 gr. onion, parsley, 70/100 gr. salted anchovies.
Instructions:
1 - Chop onion finely
2 - Heat olive oil and finely chopped onion in a pan over a medium heat until onion is softened.
3 - Add hot water. (Not too much)
4 - Cover the pan; reduce heat to minimum and let the onion cook until it is quite transparent(20 to 30 minutes)
5 - Bone, wash and chop the anchovies coarse
6 - Chop parsley finely
7 - Add anchovies and parsley to cooked onion and mash over a medium heat for 2 minutes.
8 - Sauce is ready.
9 - In the meantime make bigoli boil(you can use wheat flour spaghetti as well). When boiled and drained, heat and stir them in the pan with ready sauce for a couple of minutes. Done!
