I added a little white wine and cream to the puttanesca and it was absolutely lovely–the perfect quick meal. Great basic recipe!

I love this dish…it’s one of my favorites and a bit off the standard path, so it still feels exotic. Unfortunately, my wife hates anchovies and capers…so I sometimes have to a quick and dirty version http://tiny.cc/igwt9, but it’s still really good.

This is the 1st time I’ve posted, but I’ve been reading and cooking featured recipes for a long time. This puttanesca was a real hit tonight. The proportions were so wonderful that it is now going into heavy rotation for an easy, delicious, quick go-to meal. Thanks. I’m looking forward to the cookbook!

Any olive you like to eat! No need to be fancy if you like the regular ones.

Hi! What kind of olives is better in this dish? Boring black ones from the can or those nice ones from the deli section? Kalamata? Thank you so much!

All my bowls and dishes are the same (and I should add this to the FAQ), they're from a set we registered for when we got married. Calvin Klein, Cargo Dinnerware and we have it in Sage. It's the Serving Bowl.

Don’t know if you’ll ever run across this post, but if so, could you tell me about the bowl you show the pasta served in? I’ve been looking for a similar one. I read your post about your favorite kitchen items (very useful!), but I don’t remember a nod to a bowl like that one. Thanks!

This puttanesca recipe looks heavenly–would it be good with shrimp? (Sauteed in olive oil.)

I make puttanesca sauce for my husband ALL THE TIME! He tells me he likes it without anchovies (he’s got a problem with those tasty fish) and to never put them in. “Of course, honey, what ever you say.” Boy, he doesn’t know how many anchovies he’s had in the past 5 years!
