How to make : Linguine in Mint Pesto with Mackerel Fillets and Anchovies in Spiced Sauce
Prepare the mint pesto: Wash the mint leaves and dry them gently. Toast the almonds in a pan or buy them already toasted.
In a blender, add the mint leaves, almonds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, and a pinch of salt.
Blend everything by gradually adding EVO oil and to taste a little oil from the Mackerel and Anchovy Sauce until creamy and smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Cook linguine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine following the instructions on the package until al dente. Drain the linguine, reserving a ladleful of the cooking water.
Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mint pesto and some of the linguine cooking water to the drained linguine for a creamier consistency.
Add the mackerel fillets in olive oil, cut more or less coarsely to taste, and gently stir everything together until the linguine is well seasoned.
At the end, add the anchovies in hot sauce with the remaining of their sauce and serve.
