We really liked this, and found it to be a very nice, quick meal. Kids age 10, 7 and 4 all loved it. We all agreed that we would like it to have more sauce next time, so I will double that part. My pasta drank up all of the sauce, but it was so delicious, I don't blame that pasta! I made it as written, and didn't add the salt and pepper. I know many people will leave out the anchovies, but that is really the key to the flavor of this dish. I don't tell my kids about it until they are loving it!

Lighten up on anchovies a little bit.

Your idea for adding the clams is a great one! I wrote the recipe as a sort of starting point, but you can add whatever seafood you like. We've added some clams (and their juice for added flavor) and mussels.

This was really very good, worthy of a fine restaurant type food..husband loved it, but would consider adding clams and such to it. We will be making this again!
