A quick, easy, and unforgettable dish-
Have you ever tried Puttanesca, the classic Italian pasta sauce? It is a simple sauce with a powerful flavor. It is traditionally made with ingredients you find in the pantry: tomatoes, garlic, anchovies, capers, olives, and red pepper flakes. What most people don’t know is that it pairs well with fish. The briny and pungent sauce is a natural partner for seafood. Here’s a simple fish puttanesca recipe you can try today!

Leftover Seafood Puttanesca can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can reheat in the microwave but it is better to do it gently on the stovetop.
While this recipe works with any kind of fish, we recommend firm, white fish with a mild flavor like cod, halibut, and tilapia. For a richer flavor, consider sea bass or grouper. Happy cooking!
