Reviews
I personally prefer this with spaghettini as the pasta…and, despite having E-Z access to the finest imported pastas in the world I am now addicted to Barilla Plus pasta: a it seems to always have perfect al dente texture and b is very high-fiber (whole grains and more here and high-protein without tasting as earthy as whole wheat. And, no, I am not a product rep. I do find that because it has nice body it works especially well in this recipe.
Oh: use only dry pasta for this…puttanesca is not a fresh pasta sauce but I suppose if you use fresh pasta and love it, hey, that’s great too.
We used crushed packaged tomatoes instead of fresh and it was still tasty. Only complaint was that it made a bit more sauce than we needed for the pasta. You could either cut the recipe amounts back a little or add more pasta.
