Legend has it that this pasta dish was concocted by ladies of the evening after work was done, perhaps because it is both fast and spicy. At any rate, it is a perfect quick meal that has more than its share of flavor. Read more Anchovies are a traditional ingredient and a source of omega-3 fatty acids, so use them if you like their flavor. See less

Yours sounds like a more authentic recipe and closer to what I've had in my favorite Italian restaurant than any of the others I've read here. Will try it soon!
