Penne alla puttanesca is a flavorful Italian pasta dish known for its distinctive combination of tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies and chili. In this recipe, Mutti Cherry Tomatoes and double concentrated tomato paste create a rich tomato base, while garlic, anchovies and capers add savory depth. Fresh basil brings an aromatic note to this easy puttanesca pasta, making it a delicious choice when you want a quick meal packed with character.
For a rich puttanesca sauce, gently cook the garlic, chili and anchovies in olive oil before adding the Mutti Cherry Tomatoes. The anchovies will soften into the sauce, adding flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. Let the tomatoes simmer with the olives, capers and double concentrated tomato paste until the sauce thickens and coats the penne beautifully. Add fresh basil at the end to preserve its aroma, then finish your penne alla puttanesca with grated Parmesan just before serving.
