Hearty Puttanesca Pasta Sauce is our take on a Neapolitan classic. While staying mostly true to the classic version, Hearty Puttanesca Pasta Sauce replaces canned tomatoes with tomato paste, yielding a thicker, heartier sauce which really clings to the pasta. The addition of toasted pine nuts, a subtle and rich nuance, brings unexpected yet wonderful flavor and texture to the sauce and we substitute fish sauce for mashed anchovy fillet. Serve Hearty Puttanesca Pasta Sauce over a fancifully-shaped pasta; we recommend radiatore, cavatappi or gemelli, for yet another level of interest. Start with a simple Wilted Arugula Salad before moving on to the main course accompanied by a Nero d’Avolo, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo or Sangiovese. Mangia e Buon Appétito!
