Recipe By: DeLallo

Ingredients

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
2 (2-ounce) cans DeLallo Flat-Fillet Anchovies, chopped
2 (4-ounce) jars DeLallo Nonpareil Capers in Brine, drained and roughly chopped
1 (1-pound) package DeLallo Spaghetti alla Chiatarra

Directions

Combine butter, anchovies and capers. Mix well. Form into a log and wrap in saran wrap.
Chill in the freezer until slightly firm, about 20 minutes.
When ready to serve, bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Remove butter from the freezer and cut enough slices to coat pasta. (Depending on how buttery you’d like it, you can use ½ of log* or full log.) Add slices to large serving bowl.
Add pasta and pasta water. Toss to coat. Serve immediately.
*Compound butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 3 months.
