Found this recipe on a hunt to clear some sun-dried tomatoes from the fridge. Loved it! Learned the hard way why to use oil-cured olives (the brine splatters and spits everywhere). Used red pepper flakes instead of the chili. Threw in a bunch of nettles at the end to add greens and a some pine nuts and sardines made it a one-bowl meal. Topped with a drizz of EVOO. Yum!
Great pantry pasta! As others said, I had to make do with crushed red pepper and wrong pasta shape, but it was still wonderful. I think simmering with a couple of chopped anchovies would also be good.
I liked this a lot. I only had sun-dried tomatoes in oil and olives in brine, the opposite of what is called for, but it worked out fine (and no problem with splattering).

This is quick and delicious. Freshly grated Parmesan is a plus.
Crowd favorite and easy to make. I added toasted pine nuts on the top with a bit of Parmesan.
Fabulous recipe. Lacking a chili, I used chili powder and that was fine. I used a black pepper linguine; perfect compliment!
