Ingredients:

1/4 cup dill
2.22g
2 oz anchovy
54g
2 cups gluten-free pasta
210g
2 onions
300g
3/4 cup olive oil
160g
2 cup white bread crumbs white bread
90g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
1/6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the fresh dill and set aside.
- Drain the anchovies and mince them finely.
- Finely chop the onions.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water for later use.
3. Make the Dill Bread Crumbs:
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the white bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped dill and remove from heat. Set aside.
4. Prepare the Spicy Anchovy Sauce:
- In another large skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the minced anchovies and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the anchovies have dissolved into the oil and the mixture is well combined.
5. Combine Pasta with Sauce:
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the spicy anchovy sauce.
- Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. If the mixture seems too dry, add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Serve:
- Divide the pasta among serving plates or bowls.
- Sprinkle the dill bread crumbs generously over the top of each portion.
7. Garnish:
- If desired, garnish with additional fresh dill for an extra burst of flavor.
8. Enjoy:

Tips:

- Make sure to use gluten-free pasta to avoid any gluten contamination and ensure the dish is suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

- For a more intense flavor, choose high-quality anchovies packed in olive oil.

- If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of red pepper or substitute with a less spicy alternative.

- Toast the bread crumbs until golden brown to achieve a perfect crunchy texture.

- Fresh dill leaves give the best flavor; however, if fresh dill is unavailable, you can use dried dill, but use it sparingly since dried herbs are more concentrated.

This gluten-free pasta with spicy anchovy sauce and dill bread crumbs is an exquisite dish that caters to various dietary preferences without compromising on taste. The blend of spicy, savory, and fresh flavors, combined with the texture of the crispy bread crumbs, creates a truly mouthwatering experience. Enjoy this meal as a comforting dinner for yourself or impress guests with your culinary skills.
