Method
Step 1
Place the bread in a food processor and process until coarse breadcrumbs form. Finely chop 1 garlic clove. Thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves.
Step 2
Heat 1/4 cup (60ml) oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until light golden. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until the breadcrumbs are golden. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the pan clean with paper towel.
Step 3
Cook pasta in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup (80ml) of the cooking liquid.
Step 4
Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic, chilli, if using, and anchovies. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until the anchovies dissolve and the mixture is aromatic. Add the pasta, parsley and reserved cooking liquid. Season and toss until well combined.
Step 5
Divide the pasta mixture evenly among serving bowls. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture to serve.
