Linguine with Anchovies and Sun-dried Tomatoes

After trying this dish at a restaurant, I was determined to make it at home. I have tried the recipe twice but was not fully satisfied until I reduced the amount of pasta.

I like the sharpness of anchovies, the freshness of red bell pepper and the flavor of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, olive oil and chili. Your mouth will be bursting with flavors, and it is ready in less than 30 minutes. I will never say that it tasted exactly like what I ate at the restaurant, but the end result is fantastic!

Ingedients:

300 g. / 10.5 oz. boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into medium-sized pieces

250 g. / 9 oz. linguine pasta

3 anchovy filets (packed in salt) and 1 tablespoon water

1 medium-sized red bell pepper, diced

3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, crushed

3 tablespoons of finely chopped basil leaves

¼ cup olive oil

1 red chili, de-seeded and crushed

½ cup water

1 chicken bouillon

½ cup Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Place the anchovies and water in a blender and process to a smooth paste.

Cook the paste following package directions. Drain.

In the meantime, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, chili and anchovy paste. Cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add the chicken cubes and basil leaves. Sauté for about 5 minutes.

Pour the ½ cup of water and the chicken bouillon. Cover the stockpot, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
