Putanesca Sauce

Putanesca Sauce

EverydayCooked

Putanesca sauce is a bold Italian pasta sauce characterized by its briny, umami-rich flavor from olives, capers, anchovies, and tomatoes simmered with garlic and chili flakes. This quick-cooked sauce derives its intense savory depth from preserved ingredients, creating a pungent profile that pairs robustly with long pasta shapes like spaghetti. While offering modest plant-based fats and protein from anchovies, its high sodium content from cured components requires consideration for those monitoring salt intake or following vegetarian diets.
