Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread hazelnuts onto a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until hazelnuts become fragrant, about 10 minutes. Allow hazelnuts to cool completely on baking sheet. Rub cooled hazelnuts between your palms to remove the bitter paper-like skins. Transfer hazelnuts to a resealable bag and close. Crush nuts using a rolling pin. (20 minutes)

03

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Pour enough olive oil into a skillet over medium heat to coat the bottom; cook and stir pepperoncini peppers and garlic in the hot oil until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes, hazelnuts, and anchovy paste; cook and stir until warmed, about 2 minutes. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer spaghetti to the hazelnut mixture; add Marsala wine and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss mixture in skillet over medium heat until evenly combined and wine is slightly evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more pasta water if needed to create a light sauce. Split spaghetti mixture onto 2 plates; top with olives. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using garlic-infused olive oil.
Toasting the hazelnuts enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
If you don't have Marsala wine, a dry sherry or white wine can be substituted.
Adjust the amount of pepperoncini based on your spice preference.
