This pasta puttanesca is spaghetti tossed in a homemade tomato sauce that is flavored with olives, capers and herbs. A quick and easy dinner option that tastes like it came straight from your local Italian restaurant!
When I’m looking for a quick and easy dinner, I often turn to pasta recipes such as pasta puttanesca. It uses ingredients that I typically already have on hand, and can be on the table in 20 minutes 👌
So what does puttanesca mean? I know this story, do you know? 🫣☺️
Instructions:
•Boil a large salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
•Meanwhile, add the canned tomatoes to a bowl and crush them (it’s easiest to do this using your hands, but you could also use a fork).
•Add the olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and anchovies to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
•Stir in the capers, olives and tomatoes . Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors meld
•Add pasta, stir well, sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy.
✅Look for cans of San Marzano tomatoes for this recipe. This variety of tomato is full of flavor and doesn’t contain many seeds, which makes it perfect for sauce making.

You are secretly Italian, aren't you? 😅
Ok but where’s the roast beef?
Is that portion for a small 5 year old?
