This is adapted from a recipe for Christmas Eve Lasagna from Piedmont

1/2 cup butter, unsalted
8 Scalia Anchovy Fillets with Red Pepper, chopped
2 larges cloves of garlic, minced
1 pound long pasta, such as Spinosi Pappardelle or Spinosi Tagliatelle
1 Salti tablet, or 2 teaspoons salt
1 cup Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP, grated
Freshly ground pepper
In a large, deep skillet, melt butter over medium heat, taking care that it doesn't burn. Add anchovies and garlic, and warm in the butter, mashing the anchovies with a wooden spoon. 
Heat a large pot of water to boiling, adding the salt as it begins to boil. Cook pasta according to package (Spinosi pasta cooks in about 1 minute). Drain the pasta. Toss pasta and cheese with sauce. Sprinkle liberally with black pepper and serve immediately.
