Passed down from generations and has been a hit with everyone who has had it, it may sound different but its seriously DELICIOUS! It is a must try! I dont add any salt to the sauce or even the water for the pasta cause the anchovies are salty enough for my taste.Also if you find it is to salty you might try giving the fillets a quick rinse before cutting them up.
