I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this meatless pasta dish. It was hearty and flavorful, and I didn't miss the meat at all.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but I really enjoyed this dish. The anchovies added a nice salty flavor, and they weren't overpowering at all.

This was a great weeknight meal. It was quick and easy to make, and the whole family loved it. I used a jarred tomato sauce, which made it even easier. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's so simple, but the flavors are amazing. I always use fresh cannellini beans, and I think that makes a big difference. The anchovies add a nice salty kick, and the tomatoes are perfectly sweet and acidic.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used canned cannellini beans, which saved time, and the anchovies added a nice briny flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The combination of penne, cannellini beans, and anchovies was unique and delicious. The anchovies added a nice salty flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this again.
