Light and Refreshing Tomato Anchovy Pasta

Warm pasta in the summer is kinda tricky. On the one hand, pasta is great ALL THE TIME. But it was literally 100 degrees yesterday in Los Angeles and surprisingly muggy, so hot food hasnt been exactly a priority for me. This pasta dish is a bit different because it is so flavorful and light.

I think what helps, always, is the lack of meat. The freshness from the tomatoes, lemon and Italian parsley make this pasta dish light enough to enjoy even on the hottest of days. My favorite part about this dish is the anchovy paste (you could also use a fillet) because it adds such a nice brininess and savoriness without being super overpowering. The anchovy flavor with the lemon and Italian parsley are SO good and delicious together.

If youre looking for a light, refreshing, summer-y pasta, this is your guy!
