Serve hot spaghetti, with a handful of parsley for each plate.
Variations
The Amalfi variation of this recipe uses anchovy sauce instead of fresh fish. Anchovy sauce is the amber liquid produced from salted anchovies. Moreover we remember you that anchovies and tomatoes, without spaghetti, represent a delicious second course.
