  Tasty. I would say the above amount really only serves two!

  Really quick & easy to make & surprisingly tasty. Wouldn't add any salt when seasoning - the anchovies are enough. I'd agree that the quantities serve 2 if that's all you're having but it would work as a side dish for more.

  This was good, although I really made it just to use up some Broad Beans that I had knocking around the kitchen. Popping the blanched beans out of the shells was a bit of a chore so if I made this again I'd be tempted to throw them in with the skins on. I didn't have enough Cherry Tomatoes so I used a can of chopped tomatoes as well. I agree with the comments about there not being that much, so I cooked some Pasta Shells (approx 250g) seperately and mixed them in before serving.

  Used Birds Eye frozen soya beans (which are delicious - try them if you haven't already!) instead of broad beans. Really enjoyed this dish although saved leftovers for the next day and found the anchovies had permeated the beans making them quite horrible. So best eaten fresh!

  Delicious and easy. We used fresh broad beans from the garden and have rung the changes using haloumi instead of anchovies and normal tomatoes instead of cherry. Great way to use up broad beans.

  When my daughter was 5, on holiday in France, she tried goats cheese for the first time and said, "It tastes better than it smells".This recipe looks better than it tastes, although I WILL try it again to be sure.Very quick and easy.
