Omega Penne

Anytime I can add Anchovies to a Tomato Sauce for the kids, I do. It’s an easy, flavorful and invisible way to get their Omega 3’s in. I was fascinated when I first melted Anchovies in a pan; they simply just dissolve. I oftentimes leave it at that, Anchovies, Shallot and Tomato. Today, we have Shrimp. Sometimes, if Sammy get’s his way, there are Black Olives and Mushrooms too. Omega Penne is a super quick and easy weeknight dinner.


Organic Ingredients serves 6

  • 12 Anchovy fillets

  • 3 Cups baby Shrimp

  • 1 Shallot, peeled and finely diced

  • 4 Cloves Garlic, peeled and crushed in a pestle and mortar

  • 1 Jar crushed Tomatoes

  • A handful of Parsley, removed from stems, washed and chopped

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • Grass fed Butter

  • Buffalo Mozzarella (optional)

  • Sea Salt Salt & Black Pepper, to taste


a bowl of shrimp, garlicm salt, crushed tomato jar, herbs, salt, oil and anchovies laid out on a chopping board

Place Anchovies in a non stick pan on medium heat, with some Olive Oil. Wait while they magically dissolve…about 5 minutes. Finely dice, almost mince, your Shallot. Crush Garlic in a pestle & mortar. Chop Parsley. Once the Anchovies are dissolved, add Shallots to the pan. Sauté for two minutes before adding the Garlic and Parsley.



Add Tomatoes and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat for an hour. Add Shrimp and cook for a further 10 minutes. Once Sauce is done, stir into Al dente Penne. Add a few tablespoons of Butter, Salt & Pepper to taste.

Tear Mozzarella with your fingers and scatter into the pan. Raise heat to high and cook for a minute while Mozzarella melts.
