Tomato-Anchovy Pasta with Zucchini

While Oslo was hosting Obama and Norwegian celebrities were attending the banquet in honor for Obama, I prepared this easy pasta dish. For anchovy lovers.

Do you have these ingredients?

500 g penne
1 zucchini
1 red onion
3 garlic cloves
150 ml tomato sauce (homemade, with oregano)
¼ cup anchovies
¼ cup oil from the anchovy box
½ cup grated parmesan

Step for step

Slice the zucchini.
Peel and chop the onion.
Peel and chop the garlic.
Chop the anchovies.

Heat anchovy oil in the skillet.
Add the onion and garlic, stir for 5 mins.
Add the anchovies, stir for 2 mins.
Add the tomato sauce, stir for 5 mins.
Set aside.

Cook the penne in large pot of boiling water for 9 mins.
Add the zucchini and cook for 1-2 mins.
Reserve ¾ cup cooking liquid.

Add the cooking liquid to the tomato-anchovy sauce in the skillet and get to boil.
Stir for 1-2 mins.

Mix the pasta and zucchini with the tomato-anchovy sauce.
Season, sprinkle with the grated parmesan and server.

Enjoy!
