Ingredients

  • 30g of salted butter
  • 4 spring onions, finely sliced 
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced 
  • 4 anchovy fillets 
  • 1 tbsp of capers 
  • 100g of Green olives, pitted and quartered 
  • 150g of Northern Pasta Co Fusilli 
  • Large handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped 
  • 35g of Parmesan, to finish

Method

Start by placing a large pan of well salted water on to boil for the pasta.

In a medium saute pan add the butter and place on a low heat. Once melted add the spring onions, garlic, anchovies, capers and olives. Sauté gently whilst you cook the pasta.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 6 minutes until al-dente. 

Once the Fusilli is cooked, drain it reserving back some pasta water.

Add the drained pasta to the pan with the sauce, sprinkle over the Parmesan and parsley. Pour in a generous splash of pasta water then toss over the heat until well combined. Divide between 2 bowls and finish with some extra Parmesan over the top.
