2 tbsp lemon juice, plus extra for serving
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp capers

Pasta night just found its secret weapon. Anchovies melt into a golden, garlicky oil, pulling together spaghetti, fresh parsley, and a squeeze lemon into something that tastes far more composed than the 20 minutes it took to make. Finish with Parmesan and chili flakes, and take full credit.

Heat large skillet to medium high heat. Add reserved oil and garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add pasta and stir until warmed.

Serve with red chili flakes and black pepper, to taste.
