Add the anchovies and 1/4 cup water so that the anchovies will break up and become a powder suspended in the oil.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Pour the oil-garlic-red pepper-anchovies mixture over the pasta. (Cooked pasta is one of the most thirsty substances on earth, so it will absorb all that goodness.)
Serve with Parmesan, Romano or Asiago sprinkled on top.
So that’s the little tins of anchovies? The ones packed like sardines, only smaller?
