So I was walking through the grocery store one day and walked by a row of tomato sauce jars. Then I paused and walked back. One of the jars was puttanesco sauce. It looked dark, rich, and very tasty. But because they always add sugar and other ingredients you can barely pronounce, I wanted to make my own.<\/p>\n

What makes a great puttanesco sauce is the olives, I like to use pitted kalamatas as they are packed with flavour. And puttanesco sauce has more uses than just mixing with pasta! Use it for a baked chicken parmesan or tossing with tender slices of squid \/ octopus.<\/p>\n
