Instructions
Cook linguine according to package directions only to al dente. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a frying pan and lightly brown garlic. Add mashed anchovies a few minutes before garlic is finished. Salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the pasta well, reserving 1 cup of the water. Toss together the linguine, and oil, garlic, anchovy mixture and at least 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
Add some of the reserved water to moisten the pasta (as it may be a bit dry), but do not make it too wet.
Serve immediately with additional parmesan cheese.

This was a staple dish at our home especially during any lenten season. It was especially popular and became a tradition on Christmas Eve, when only fish dishes would be eaten in an Italian (read Sicilian) Home.
