Pasta puttanesca is a quick and easy dinner recipe bursting with the deliciously salty flavors of olives, capers, and anchovies cooked in a simple tomato sauce.

INGREDIENTS

– Dried spaghetti – Olive oil – Garlic – Anchovy – Black olives – Capers – Tomatoes – Red pepper flakes

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

1

Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

While the water is heating, make the sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovies and cook until both are soft, about 3 minutes.

Add the olives, capers, diced tomatoes, and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and simmer gently until the pasta is cooked.
