Ingredients
- 1 Pound bucatini or spaghetti
- 8 Anchovy fillets packed in oil drained
- 2 Cloves garliv minced
- 2 Eggs and 1 egg yolk beaten
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ Teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Fresh parsley roughly chopped

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta to 1 minute less than package instructions.
- Beat the eggs and egg yolk in a small bowl.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the anchovy fillets. Break the anchovies up with the back of a spoon and stir until melted. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for one minute longer or until the garlic just starts to turn golden around the edges. Remove the pan from heat.
