In a Hurry?

If you're in a mad-dash and need to have cooked and eaten in less than 20-30 minutes, here's one for which you might want to keep ingredients on-hand.

ANCHOVY-PARSLEY PASTA

150-200 grams of your favourite thin pasta (spaghetti or spaghettini); fresh pepper; olive oil; sliced clove of garlic; can of marinaded anchovies chopped; handful of fresh parsley chopped; Parmesean

Boil pasta in salted water (TIP: When boiling water, for speed, efficiency and less electricity use, run your tap water until hot and bring your water to a boil with the cover on; although cook your pasta with the cover off). Heat a big splash of olive oil in a large pan and then add the garlic, sauté for about 60 seconds and then add the anchovies and sauté for about 30 seconds. Drain the pasta, add it to the pan and toss with parsley and fresh pepper. Sprinkle each serving with a bit of olive oil and Parmesean... That was fast.
