I’ve been meaning to cook that dish for ages, Helen but my default for anchovies and pasta is always puttanesca.

I really didn’t write this up very well, Su-Lin, we actually used eight anchovies for two servings which seemed about right. Nigella’s version seems very dilute.

12 anchovies for 8 servings? Should I be feeling guilty that we’ve been indulging in 12 for 2 servings? My salt levels are probably through the roof…

I need to try this. Whenever I have anchovies with pasta I always do it with broccoli, garlic and chilli as I really am rather addicted to it. I need to put some will power to the problem and try another anchovy sauce for pasta – living on the edge

I should have blended the lentils before adding the cream, Lex. I didn’t and tried to do it afterwards which led to a gritty soup that solidified because I’d added too much cream

We didn’t use the sugar Lizzie because we had red onion but I don’t think we would have done anyway actually. We did add some lemon juice at the end though. Would be interested to hear your recipe.

Wow – that recipe has a fair few more ingredients than the one I have. Great picture!
