Comments
Easy and delicious. Used small tin of tuna in oil instead of anchovies. A winner.
Good recipe. I added 6 black olives instead of anchovies. I would suggest getting a start on the sauce before cooking pasta as my pasta was ready before the sauce was. Also I steamed the broccoli so it stayed nice bright green. And also used less cheese than stated. Thumbs up!
I didn't have enough Broccoli so added Cauliflower. It was really tasty and lovely. I used 2 large cloves and it was a bit overpowering and half the cheese was plenty, anymore and that too would have been overpowering. Its all down to personal preference but this is a great basic recipe to start with and tweak to your own tastes. Thanks, ths waslovely and easy to follow.
This was nice for something different. I made half mixture and probably added too much cheese.
