  1. this is such a simple quick wonderful recipe i couldn't help playing with it. i had fresh parsley and basil, which i chopped and also used the whole jar of anchovies, i love them!! i had some capers left in a small jar so i drained and rinsed them and used them as well, maybe 1 tbsp. i chopped the garlic and left it in, added the cooked cappellini, and voila! instant dinner ala evelyn!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
