    Great recipe! I just minus the chili flakes and anchovy. Went to the Farmers Market where I live. They had a mix basket of tri-color cherry tomatoes. And I bought lemon basil. Now I have to master the pairing of wine with this dish.

    This is delicious, really packs a punch in flavor. I did not use the full 1 lb. of pasta(although I did cook it because I was afraid it would soak up all of the liquid leaving me with a dryer pasta. Really good,clean and flavorful. YUM!

    this is the best pasta putanesca recipe we have ever eaten. my husband does not like anchovies, but he loved the pasta. we used mixed heirloom cherry/grape tomatoes, so it was also beautiful. there was nothing about this recipe that i would change. Nadia, not are you hysterically funny, this recipe rocks.

    This was the BEST EVER spaghetti that I have tasted in my life and I am OLD (55! I have ditched my home made recipe of spaghetti for this one. Never had an anchovy in my life until I tried this recipe. It was fantastico!! Will never make my same ole spaghetti recipe again. THIS recipe will be my favorite. Family loved it. Nadia G. Rocks!!

    We liked this a lot (family of four with 8 and 10 yr. old boys that are easy eaters. I used a little less oil, and maybe 4/5 of the lb of pasta. Also, because of only finding grape toms, which tend to be dryer than cherry, I added about 1/2 cup more toms & 4 oz. canned diced toms with the equivalent juice from the can. It seems like that may have been good even with cherry toms. The thicker grape tom skins hold up a little better too, so it worked well. Make sure you go a little under on the pasta so it soaks it all up. Everyone had seconds!

    I was a little unsure of the anchovy. I have never cooked with it before and am not a big fish person. The flavor was not bad but for my personal taste I will leave it out next time. And I won't salt my water for the pasta. The olives and capers have enough salt in them to compensate. All in all, though, I liked it and will make it again with my own little spin.

    I found a new late night go to meal!!! I made a few of my own substitutions though: Whole wheat spaghetti, anchovy paste, 3 cloves of garlic, a pinch of oregano and decided to leave out the brown sugar. I had to go for seconds on this one, just too good to pass up.
