  For someone who doesn't like capers or anchovies, I loved it! Quick and easy to make and simply delicious.

  I made this as I had some leftover anchovies and olives and didn't know what to do with them. I added a small red onion too and it was delicious, will definitely be making it again soon!

  Delicious! I like to add extra anchovies and basil torn up on top to garnish. Easily doubled.

  Very impressed with this incredibly simple but delicious meal :) Left out the anchovies though as hubby hates them! This is sure to become one of our regular meals.

  Gorgeous. Classic mid 20th century Italian recipe. Personal preference is for black olives but each to her/his own.

  Try Delia's version. Uses fresh basil and chilli and cooks for much longer.

  This recipe is perfect! So quick to make and the ingredients will keep for quite a while so it costs very little. I usually use half the sauce and use the rest for dinner the next day. I normally add more garlic. So much better than buying shop-bought puttanesca!

  this is amazing - better then any puttanesca I've had out. I used fresh basil and chilli - uped the sauce ingredients to make the pasta extra saucy. And top tip - cook sauce for 40 minutes - the longer time makes the flavour much deeper

  Love this recipe, really quick and easy. We love anchovies so I always add a couple extra, and tend to use black olives rather than green. Yum!

  Too tomato-ey for some reason, so quite sharp. Might add some sugar next time. Also chocked on an anchovies bone but that's not the recipes fault!

  Great store cupboard meal. I use anchovy paste which works very well too.

  This is a fantastic quick and easy recipe! I'm a student so it was perfect for me and fairly cheap and nutritious. I substituted green olives for black olives since I simply prefer the taste and it worked a treat. Will certainly be making this again!

  This was amazing, tasted exactly like a restaurant quality Puttanesca! I was wondering what I would do with the remainder of the tins of anchovies and capers I bought... so I went out and got another 3 tins of tomatoes and made a huge batch of this sauce to freeze in portions :-) will definitely be my 'go to' tomato sauce for pasta, pizzas etc. from now on.
