Steps
- 1Before you begin preparing the sauce, cook your dry pasta in a large pot of salted water. However, if you are using fresh pasta or gnocchi, hold off on adding them until after you have started making the sauce.
- 2Begin by heating oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic to the oil and allow it to sizzle without browning, stirring frequently. After a few minutes, add the pepper flakes and let them sizzle for a minute before adding the baccalà spread. Stir the mixture well in the skillet to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
