    Hi, Giangi! The image for your recipe captured my eyes and my stomach. This recipe looks absolutely delicious and would love to give it a shot as I love anything pasta (I even think I might have been Italian in my previous life!-lol) I follow a vegetarian way of eating. Do you think I could leave out the anchovies and not affect the overall end product much? I love chickpeas and those I can definitely work with- Or maybe I can try a vegetarian version of Worcestershire Sauce?

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Hi Miriam, I am so happy you want to try my recipe. Yes, you can remove the anchovies, and replace them with something that can bring that saltiness to it. Although it is a nuance, it has that natural saltiness that gives it a touch.
      Enjoy!
