For years I ve been an addict of putanesca pasta but I tried your recipe over mine and I was so suprise....... they are perfect .... thank you -
I found the sauce incredibly salty. In spite of the two cans of tomatoes, I believe that 4 ounces of anchovies as well as the 25 olives contributed a little too much salty flavor to the dish. The 1/4 cup of capers didn't help the situation either. I would try this again, but cut back on the salty ingredients. -
I had never had Puttanesca pasta sauce until last week. We had bought some in a jar and really liked it. Decided to try from scratch and recipezaar.com. This was quite easy and I suppose you could sub anchovy paste to make it even easier. I did add 1 cup chopped onions suated. Did not find it too salty, but definetly no salt needed. I found this to be enough for 8 servings. Will make again. -
This was delicious. Cut down on the garlic (personal choice) and added a little tomato paste to thicken. Will be making this on a regular basis.
