This dish is lovely, I would recommend using more anchovies as five fillets is just not enough to get the flavour through.

Reserve a small cup of the cooked pasta water. Add to the sauce with the spaghetti. The sauce will cling to the strands instead of sinking to the bottom of the pan

I added extra anchovies and let it rest. But it was delicious with no complaints

This is my favourite Monday evening meal. My 2nd attempt tonight and it was fabulous. My top tips are:

Don’t spare the anchovies (lots), chop them fine and introduce with the garlic.

Source good quality (large) capers. Avoid added sea salt preserves as this will blast your taste buds on an already…

Guys, anchovies is the very first to add in the pan after the oil... until they disappear, it's only for the umami at the oil!!

Try to fry the capers, until crispy (pop corn like) at a coffee pot with excess oil, and you will get the best out of them.

Trust me it works!!
