I have made a similar recipe before, so when I seen this, I had to make it. I just want to tell people - don't be afraid of anchovies! They literaly melt as they cook. Leaving a nutty taste behind. Nothing fishy about it to me. I used only 1 tsp red pepper flakes, and for me that is just perfect. This is a quick and easy recipe to do. Thanks Kittencal for posting this!
