Not brilliant to be honest but might have been the fact that I took out the olives and substitute for garlic.

SO GOOD! Left out the olives after reading the comments, this was insanely delicious and a new regular recipe in our house.

Made this last night and really enjoyed it. My boyfriend really liked it aswell and he doesn't even like olives! (I accidentally missed out the capers though, whoops)
