It's one person stalking me , they don't do it to anyone else posting recipes. 😊
Never mind, Suzanne rose, just ignore the negative ones. There is a Green-eyed monster called JEALOUSY lurking and it’s not worth taking it to heart. I particularly do not like capers so would try substituting with something else. We love your recipes and each and everyone of us can change some part of your ingredients if we don’t like a specific one.

Love this recipe, quick and easy. I'm finding at my age I have less and less energy to make more involved recipes. Thanks 😊

Simply block her Suzanne rose. I look forward to your recipes. Although I don't know you I'm sure you're a nice person and unfortunately there are always going to be some that aren't.
 
I do like looking at your recipes, some I like and some I don't. With this one I cringed when I read about adding 1 tablespoon of salt to the cooking of the spaghetti. I never cook with salt because of a low salt diet for my health reasons.
 
Suzanne please don't let the negatives get you down I am sure there are more positive people who want you to keep putting your recipes up me especially
