Italian Pasta Puttanesca is an easy and delicious tomato sauce. As far as I know, does the name mean as much as “in style of the prostitute.” because it is cheap, easy and fast to prepare. Besides that, you can not just freeze this sauce for later meals, but also the ingredients can be stored for an extended time as they don’t spoil. Remember that not all pasta is eaten with parmesan cheese, and this is one of them.
Italian Pasta Puttanesca will feed as a main dish about four persons and takes 20 – 30 minutes to prepare (Depending on your skill and your knowledge of the recipe). If you are on your search for other pasta dishes why don’t you look into my pasta section of the site or the general dinner section?
