Description
Giada de laurentiis made this on her show and it looked soooo good! I could smell it through the tv! I have edited this recipe to cut the fat content and try to lighten the recipe. I think this should work better.
Edited: i made this for dinner tonight, but i had to make it with "corkscrew" pasta (dss ate the bowties for a snack). I think it worked wonderfully…the ridges held the sauce nicely. This is a great dish and i will be making this often. The pepper does sneak up on you, so beware!! I also only used 3 anchovy fillets, which i found to be the perfect amount!! Adds a very nice depth to the dish.
