Who said that fish and cheese don’t go together in the Italian kitchen? We joined forces with our friend Chef Silvia of La Rina to prove this prejudice about Italian food traditions totally wrong. The umami bombs Anchovy Colatura and Vacche Rosse Cheese are a match made in heaven. Add Yellow Tomatoes from Cilento and you have a pasta sauce that subverts all the cliches!

5. Cook the Spaghetti and drain when they are almost done.
6. Finish cooking the Spaghetti in the pan for 3/4 minutes with the heat off, adding the rest of the Yellow Tomatoes and Colatura.
