Recipe is loaded with delicious pungent ingredients that meld into a really delicious sauce. I used anchovy paste, and instead of canned tomatoes, I added some premium pasta sauce I needed to use up. I also added some dark meat chicken. I will enjoy the leftovers!

Very nice strongly-flavored sauce. The anchovy (I substituted anchovy paste) gives it it such a nice richness. I think it would make a good pizza sauce too.

Easy and delicious. We've had Pasta alla Puttanesca in some outstanding Italian restaurants, and this recipe is right on. We would cut back the capers a little (maybe 1/4 - 1/2 T less than the recipe calls for), but the recipe is outstanding just the way it is.
