Tunning into this website now and have to say I'm super happy I came accross it everything on here is super delish.
Ooomg so freaking tasty toss some mushrooms too if you want it to be even more flavorful, it blends well with the anchovy.
Made this with some cheesy garlic bread on the side and red wine,both me and my fiance enjoyed it.
For all the fishy fans, this is amazing and you will love it so much.
Kids gobbled it up almost instantly really good dish ty.
Was tasty just needed a little more spices I actually doubled everything because of the lack of spices the first time around.
This pasta puttanesca is freaking yummy I'm totally obsessed.
My family loved this so much i had to cook for 5 so I ended up trippling the recipe lol.
My personal favorite recipe when it comes to pasta, I liked it a lot thanks so much.
Will be making this again soon it was really delicious.
It was amazing made it with bow pasta instead with a mix of penne since I didn't have normal stringy pasta.
The second time I made this I actually added some heavy cream about 1/2 of a cup, it was so creamy and the texture was perfect.
Decided not to add the anchovys since I'm not a huge fan of them but doubled the capers :)
It's pretty good though I much prefer the spaghetti bolognese, the flavor is better.
Even added some shrimp to this dish love seafood and pasta puttanesca!!
I didn't have any capers so I didn't add it but it was quite yummy with the rest of the ingredients.
Easiest Italian meal you can make would recommend it if you're a huge pasta fan like me.
Easy to make and takes barely any time, huge fan of all these amazing recipes.
I love it! So delicious!
