Fry the bread cubes in some olive oil in a large frying pan. Place on a plate.
Bring water to the boil in a pasta pot, salt and cook the spaghetti al dente.
Meanwhile chop the garlic finely and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Add 5 tbsp olive oil to the frying pan and sweat the garlic lightly.
Add the anchovies and let them melt. Mince a little with a wooden spoon.
 
Add the halved tomatoes and the plucked thyme and heat briefly. Season with salt and pepper and add the chopped chili pepper.
