  1. This was a great dish! DH was very skeptical about the anchovies but he loved it as well. I added a couple of tablespoons of capers and I think next time I will add more capers and maybe some artichoke hearts. But it is a very tasty dish, thanks for posting!
     
  2. My Grandmother whose grandmother who came over from Napoli made this dish on fridays according to her. My Grandmother still makes it just minus the lemon. Be sure to put a lot of fine sprinkle italian cheese on it...and a little more olive oil never hurt...
     
  3. I love anchovies but have never had them prepared like this - totally awesome dish. The only thing I did was add capers as suggested by another reviewer. I will be preparing this a lot. My husband fell in love with it and even took the leftovers for lunch the next day - pity his office. LOL
     
  4. Simple is best. I did add some sauteed chicken strips to keep the meat eater happy but I ate mine without, just as written, and it was delicious.
     
  5. Wonderful pasta dish! Fast and easy. However, I only eat this on those evenings that I plan on spending alone. Thanks for posting! Al

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
