Outstanding pasta. Just wish it had meat in the sauce. Almost cubed up some hard salami. I was warry about putting in the anchovies. It's a tough fish to love. I didn't have to salt and pepper to taste. There was plenty of that in there with the anchovies and red peppers. Didn't use a full teaspoon of the peppers. I have enough stores to make it again.


Made it again. Added 1 cup cubed hard salami.
