VERY good and tasty recipe. My DH gave this 3 stars and I gave it 4 so 4 it is! The anchovy fillets are not to be skipped here. They lend to the richness of this recipe. I decreased the shrimp to 1 pound. I think 2 pounds would have been way too much with the pasta ratio. All the other ingredients blended nicely with this. Just wonderful!
