Cook the spaghetti in plenty of heavily salted boiling water until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based frying pan.
Gently fry the garlic, chilli (as much or as little as you like) and anchovies until fragrant but not browned then immediately add the breadcrumbs and stir-fry until crisp.
Add the parsley, a little salt and black pepper.
Drain the cooked spaghetti and toss through the crumb mixture.
Serve right away with a bitter salad of frisée, radicchio and rocket, and chunks of your best parmesan.
