For a richer flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use a food processor to blend the anchovies, garlic, and olive oil before adding them to the skillet. To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the black pepper. Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry pan for extra flavor and texture. Fresh parsley is crucial for the brightness of the dish, do not substitute with dried. Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your preference. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
