I made some changes, but I don't think I altered the 'soul' of the recipe so it's legitimate to give five stars--it is delicious! And the contrast between the softness of pasta and the texture of the broccoli and the crunchy salty crumbs flavored by the anchovy is just lovely! In fact, I am already devising other uses for the crumbs. My changes--I used low fat sour cream in place of cream; I used olive oil in place of butter; and I sauteed the anchovies in the oil first so that they kind of melted into the oil, and then added the bread crumbs. I loved this! Thanks, Ev, and forgive the recipe-tampering, please.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. 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.
