I've been on a pasta kick lately. This dish saves me when it the middle of the week and I'm in a pinch. If the breadcrumbs are ready, it take me 20-30 minutes max start to finish.

[@acuhealer62]

Is there a vegetarian substitute for the anchovy paste that you would recommend??

[@bharatishah4955]

I love your all receipe. Thanks for sharing. God bless you. You get healthy and safe life.

[@Ygyoyu]

That looks really good. Funny thing is I recently made orechiette pasta yesterday now I got something to use for it

[@KitchenCraftFood]

There you go. It was meant to be 🙂.

[@kellymcginnis8631]

I just bought the ingredients for this today. I forgot the anchovies. Will still be so good, can't wait for dinner. I am glad to see you did not blanch the rabe first, which is what I was told you had to do. I never blanch anything.

[@lisaboban]

I love this approach. And keeping toasted breadcrumbs around for general finishing sounds like a terrific idea. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

You bet! We've been eating a lot of pasta lately so I've been keeping a stash of breadcrumbs on hand. My wife and son aren't huge on red chile. I use the breadcrumbs as a way to add heat and some crunch.

[@mayoorrai]
