How to prepare

When Bart visited the coastal city of Mar del Plata, Argentina, the first thing that struck him was the Italian flavoured dishes he tasted. Soon he discovered many of the fishermen he met had Italian descent. In the 1950s many Italians from Ischia fled to Argentina. Bringing not only their knowledge of fishing for anchovies but also their delicious Mediterranean food culture. This classic Italian pasta with tomato and Argentinean riped anchovies brings you – only for a little while – to the sunny coast of Mar del Plata. Buon Appetito!
