The bread crumbs MAKE this recipe. They're awesome. I've never had or cooked sardines, but they and the lemon zest add a ton of flavor. I used chicken stock and the idea of adding parm. to the sauce to thicken it a little, as well as keeping the seeds and juice in the fresh tomato. I also left the tuna out altogether, but would love to try this with shrimp! I only used one sprig of rosemary in the sauce, and you've got to season to taste with salt and pepper. Loved it.

This was terrible will not do this one again. Took a lot longer than 30 min and tasted more like something I would hesitate to feed my cat or dog. Sorry Rachel this didn't work for us.

I really enjoyed this. I used dried Rosemary and added carrots and Parmesan flakes. Oh and I used Panko breadcrumbs because that was all I had. Very tasty!

I actually liked this. I read the reviews and did a few things differently. I use crushed garlic in a tube and also anchovy paste in the Gremolata. Also used dried parsley. Worked fine (my family doesn't like fresh parsley. Used whole wheat penne. I used white wine but the taste seemed a little strong so I added parm to it. Worked great. Lots and lots of crushed red pepper. Didn't have fresh rosemary (sorry, Rachael, but fresh herbs are EXPENSIVE- duh! I used a little bit of dried Rosemary and then I saw some Herbs de Provence in my spice rack and used a bit of that. Also substituted frozen peas for tomatoes since my kids hate tomatoes. Overall very good. Probably not my kids favorite but no turned up noses.

This was delicious!! Other than forgetting to add chili flakes, I followed the recipe to a T. My whole family all had second helpings. The gremolata is SO flavorful and adds a salty, citrusy note, for obvious reasons. Why in the world you would leave it out is beyond me...like your mother leaving the potato chip topping off of her old tuna noodle casserole. It was not at all dry, and I think it was because I did not overcook the bean mixture. An important note is to try to have the pasta ready at the same time as the bean mixture. And, don't forget the ladle of pasta water at the end. I also did not try to make this "Mexican" by adding Rotels and chiles...it's an Italian dish, leave it alone. The ONLY minus was that it took longer than 25 minutes to prepare. Next time, I will make the gremolata early in the day. I hesitated to make this because of a couple of the reviews. I'm glad I decided to decide for myself. I will make this again!! Thanks, Rachael.

I am struggling to give this 1 star. The only interesting flavor was the bread crumbs which added some texture to glop. It's back to the drawing board and onto some other recipe. Don't waste your time or your ingredients.

I skipped the bread crumb topping, sweated the onions with red pepper flakes, and used more like 1c of chicken stock in place of the wine/vermuth and this turned out really nicely. Lightly flavored, but not in a bad way. Very easy and could do a lot with it, will make again.

Reviews are accurate, lacking flavor, I kicked it up a bit, added crisp fried panchetta, crushed red pepper, a can of Ro-Tel chopped tomatoes and green chiles ( drained fresh ground garlic, lost the bread crumb thing all together..result was killer, I also used a lot of fresh chopped basil, dynamite if you experiment.
ps twice the amount of anchoves, cooked before other ingredients.
