rache-allen-anchovy_1

Ingredients

Serves 4

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

350g (12oz) dried spaghetti or other pasta, such as linguine or tagliatelle

4 tablespoons olive oil

6-8 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced

10 tinned anchovies, chopped

1-2 pinches of dried chilli flakes

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Good squeeze of lemon juice

 

Fill a large saucepan with water, add a teaspoon of salt and bring to the boil. Add the spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle, whichever you are using, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or according to the instructions on the packet, until al dente.

As the pasta is cooking, place another large saucepan on a medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the sliced garlic and fry for two minutes, then stir in the chopped anchovies and the chilli flakes, and cook for a further minute.

Drain the spaghetti, reserving some of the liquid, then add the spaghetti to the anchovy mixture with a few tablespoons of the liquid. Tip in the chopped parsley and the squeeze of lemon juice and stir to mix. Taste, adding some more lemon juice if you like. Grind over some black pepper and serve immediately.

Rachel Allen’s Strawberry and Rhubarb cobbler

cobbler

Strawberry and rhubarb has to be my favourite summer flavour combination and in this recipe, 
the two juicy fruits lie underneath a 
thick blanket of crunchy, buttery deliciousness.

Ingredients

(Serves 6)
You will need:
Butter for greasing
300g (11oz) rhubarb, 
cut into 2cm (¾in) pieces
300g (11oz) strawberries, sliced
100g (3½oz) caster sugar

For the batter, you will need:
225g (8oz) plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
50g (2oz) butter
100g (5oz) caster sugar
75ml (3fl oz) milk
1 egg
50g (2oz) almonds, chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C, 325°F, Gas 3.

Grease a 1L (1¾pt) pie dish with butter, then add the rhubarb pieces and the sliced strawberries and scatter over the caster sugar.

To make the batter, sift the plain flour and the baking powder together into a bowl. Rub in the butter, then mix in 
75g (3oz) of the caster sugar. Beat the milk and the egg together and mix in to the butter-and-sugar mixture to form a soft dough. Place this dough in ‘blobs’ over the top of the fruit.

Mix the chopped almonds together with the remaining 25g (2oz) of the caster sugar, then sprinkle them over the top of the cobbler.

Place the cobbler in the oven and bake it for 45-50 minutes until the centre is cooked through. Stick a skewer into the batter – the cobbler is ready if it comes out clean.
