Hi Larry, our website is vegetarian. In the ingredients section of the post, we explain that we don’t use anchovies. We wanted to acknowledge that they are traditionally used in the dish though.

Hi Ingrid, our site is vegetarian, so we don’t use anchovies here! You’ll find an explanation in the ingredients section of the post.

I was wondering the same thing. The first paragraph states “This Southern Italian dish features a garlicky tomato sauce spiked with briny olives, capers, and anchovies.”

So where are the anchovies?

So glad you enjoyed it, Michelle!

I’ve been making my version of this for years, I have seen recipes that use 3 anchovies, but I use a whole can of anchovies and a whole can of sardines or tuna, and first I use the oil from each can to sauté my onions/garlic. I like fish and salt, and don’t want to save a partial can of anchovies or waste the fishy olive oil.

So glad you loved it!
