  • Separate the basil leaves from the stems. Discard stems and reserve the leaves for garnish. 
  • Place a medium skillet over medium high heat and warm a drizzle of oil. Add the minced garlic, and the anchovy fillets. Sauté for one minute watching closely not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir, breaking the tomatoes and anchovies up with the back of a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat allowing the residual heat warm the tomatoes.   
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. 
  • While the pasta is cooking transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl. Add the butter and stir to combine.  
  • When spaghetti is done, drain and add to the sauce in the bowl tossing to combine. With a fork “twirl” the pasta and place in individual bowls or on a serving plates. 
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves and parmesan cheese.
