• If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the anchovies and garlic together before adding them to the skillet.
• Feel free to add some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the spaghetti in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the reheated spaghetti with watercress and anchovy sauce with a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese.
