Have you ever made, or eaten, spaghetti alla carrettiera? I grew up in an Italian family and I haven’t! I only recently learned more about the traditional Sicilian dish when a friend shared a recipe with me.
Spaghetti alla carrettiera includes a garlic anchovy mixture with breadcrumbs, sprinkled with fresh parsley and dried chili flakes. I can’t believe this spaghetti alla carrettiera recipe is on the table in less than 30 minutes. It’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients
- 12 - 16 ounces spaghetti, cooked to al dente
