This sauce is very easy and quick to do. You can make it while your spaghetti are boiling.
Add the olive oil, the anchovy fillets, the capers, the fresh and dried herbs, the wine and the hot pepper (if you like) in a frying pan. Season with salt and cook over a fierce heat for about 5-10 or until the anchovies are melt and wine is evaporated.
Meanwhile cook your spaghetti, drain them while still very much al dente and turn into the pan with the sauce. Sprinkle with some tablespoons of dry breadcrumbs, stir, return to a high heat, sauté them and serve very hot.

What's the right wine?

Our suggestion is: Soave (a white wine from Venetian land - Italy).
