So, I have to admit that I share virtually everyone's prejudice against anchovies, but M does not. He likes the salty, fishy little guys. While we don't always agree on food, I do trust his palette. It helps that I have heard from multiple sources that anchovies have a bad rap - that when cooked they become these mellow little bursts of flavor. So, this is a recipe I found to test this out. Besides having anchovies, it's also a whole wheat pasta recipe, which many of you know we're trying to eat more of. The result was amazing. This is rich and satisfying and is neither fishy nor salty. It's a complex onion-y flavor that we will want to repeat often. Anchovies may become a new staple!

Prep Notes

Chopping: Onions, garlic, anchovies, parsley, peppers
