  Really tasty and quick. I usually just have to buy the anchovies and use black olives which I keep in the fridge.

  The recipe is spot on and my family and I thought it was totally delicious. So quick and easy, but packed full of flavour. Will definitely be making it again and again.

  In Italy we love it! It's a classic pasta dish and we make it often with "penne rigate" instead of spaghetti.

  A lovely recipe. I add shallots with the garlic, black olives instead of green, and a few prawns plus herbs from the garden.
