Puttanesca sauce
Tip
The literal translation from Italian is 'whore's style pasta', a tangy, somewhat salty Italian pasta dish invented in the mid-20th century. The ingredients are typical of Southern Italian cuisine: tomatoes, olive oil, olives, capers, and garlic (thank you Wikipedia).
This is a simple recipe adapted from my favourite little pasta cookbook. A gorgeous, full flavoured dish that I cook for everybody.
A great 'pescetarian' recipe (vegetarian/fish eaters) and a great dinner party dish to be served to four with warm bread for soaking up all the lovely juices.
Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo this time round but will upload one soon.

Really yummy, thank you
BEST EVER - Italy included!
I order puttenesca in every Italian restuarant I go to and this is the best one I have ever tasted in any restuarant - Italy included. No joke. I couldn't believe I was responsible for it. I accidentally blitzed the olives and capers too, but it was great and gave it a nice texture.
I'm making it for my Italian in-laws on the weekend and want to double it - should I increase the cooking time?
I really enjoyed this pasta sauce, I cooked it in my TM5 and it worked perfectly without any adjustments to time or heat. It will be made again. Thank you.
I only put 3 tablespoons of oil in thinking that 4 would be too much but it was still a little oily. Despite this it was very nice and I'll certainly make it again.
I love this recipe, delicious.....thank you for posting
