Gluten-Free Lemon Spaghetti with Anchovy Breadcrumbs

Spring is right around the corner but many of you I’m sure are still freezing your tails off in winter! So why not mix a refreshing, vibrant flavor like lemon with a comforting food like pasta? This Gluten-Free Lemon Spaghetti with Anchovy Breadcrumbs recipe features a secret weapon to making delicious pasta – the anchovy breadcrumbs!

Before turning your nose up at the anchovy breadcrumbs, you should know that on Beat Bobby Flay, he wins every time he uses anchovy breadcrumbs! Even if you think you don’t like anchovies, this is worth a try! The flavor of the anchovy breadcrumbs pairs nicely with the lemon. Plus, it adds great texture to this refreshing pasta dish.

I used Kinnikinnick’s gluten-free panko breadcrumbs. You can use your favorite gluten-free pasta in this – I typically like to use a combination of corn and rice pasta because the texture is great and it stays together well.

For the breadcrumbs:

  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • ½ cup Kinnikinnick Panko Style Breadcrumbs
  • Zest of 1 lemon , finely grated

Instructions

Make the breadcrumbs:

Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Make the spaghetti:

  • Drain the spaghetti, reserving some of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the lemon sauce, tossing to coat. Add some of the cooking water, a little at a time, if the sauce is too dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the spaghetti topped with the breadcrumbs.
