Whole Spice will be offering a 20 percent discount to all Oxbow Newsletter readers the last three days of December! Also, Whole Spice has added Calabrian Peppers to its extensive chili collection! These pepper pods have a spicy, mildly fruity taste and aroma — not unlike habaneros, but a little bit milder and authentically Italian. Try them in this delicious Whole Spice recipe:

Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic, Anchovies and Calabrian Pepper
(Serves 2)

Ingredients:
250 grams spaghetti
5 cloves fresh garlic, sliced
1 50-gram can anchovies
7 Calabrian pepper pods, chopped fine
2 Tbs. olive oil
1/4 bunch fresh parsley, chopped fine

Directions:
Cook spaghetti according to box instructions. Heat up olive oil over medium-low heat. Add sliced garlic and stir. Add chopped Calabrian peppers. Sauté on low to medium heat, to prevent the garlic from burning. Add anchovies and olive oil, breaking the anchovy fillets into the oil while making sure not to burn them. Immediately add cooked pasta and fresh parsley, and mix. Remove from heat and serve warm.
