Good Camp Stove Meal
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We tried this as a 1 pan & 1 pot meal on our camp stove and it worked great. Really tasty, and made a nice experience... accompanied with a nice glass of red wine and a fantastic mountain view. We used crushed packaged tomatoes instead of fresh and it was still tasty. Only complaint was that it made a bit more sauce than we needed for the pasta. You could either cut the recipe amounts back a little or add more pasta. Read more

Felt like I was in Italy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very good, felt like we should have been eating this in Italy somewhere. Didn't have any anchovies and it was still good.

Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just the perfect amount of spice and a wonderful blend of flavors. A really delicious, light summer pasta. I like this one... especially because it calls for fresh herbs.Read more

Very Good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This has been a regular recipe of mine a couple years now. Everyone who tries it loves it! Don't be afraid of the anchovies,... they melt into the "sauce". I like to cook the basil in the tomatoes to infuse the flavor more. A real keeper!Read more
