subbed ground beef for the pork since we had that in the freezer and worked just as well! Loved the addition of the lentils to the sauce. Pictured with the pistachio green beans also from this book.

I veganized it with beyond Italian sausage instead of pork and used a mix of capers/olives/kelp powder to replicate anchovies! Was a fan favorite— so delicious

One of my favorite pasta dishes. Very easy for great payoff.

Lots of flavor from a quick sauce. Everyone liked this.

Used a fraction of the rosemary called for and would probably skip it in the future. Would not hesitate to serve the sauce over rice as well as pasta.

Great way to sneak some lentils into your kids’ (and husband’s) diet. The whole family happily finished everything, just perfect.

This is a unique and satisfying dish. It's creamy and has a wonderful umami flavor from the pork, anchovies and tomato paste. The recipe was perfect and I wouldn't change anything about it!
