- Clean the anchovies: remove the head, gut, and central bone; rinse and pat dry. Keep fillets whole or halved as desired.
- In a pan, heat a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
- Add sliced garlic and a few oregano leaves; sauté for 10-15 seconds until fragrant.
- Optionally add a splash of white wine and let it evaporate briefly.
- Add tomato sauce (passata or crushed tomatoes). Season with a pinch of salt if needed (anchovies are salty).
- Simmer the sauce on low-medium heat for 2-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little chopped parsley.
- Place the anchovy fillets gently into the sauce, arranging them in a single layer (or as desired). Do not overlap too much.
- Cover the pan and cook on low-medium heat for no more than 1 minute. The anchovies should just be cooked through.
- Serve immediately, spooning some sauce over the fillets.
