How many anchovies? The whole can? It didn’t say. The fish is very salty so just wonder. Please let us all know one or two pieces or what? Sounds very tasty and healthy too!

1 zucchini… How many ounces? Zucchini come in so many shapes and sizes – more specific info would be great.

Thank you!

This looks amazing, but do you know the calories? I am on the 5:2 diet and would love to have this regularly
Thanks!

In reply to Leslie. The whole taste of a puttanesca is based off the anchovies! It will still taste good, it just won't be a puttanesca, it will just taste like tomatoes! Hope that helps.

I really hate anchovies! However I know they are cooked in — do they make the dish very fishy tasting? If I omit them will it be different?

Spaghetti alla puttanesca actually means whore’s style spaghetti, from the Italian word ‘puttana’. It’s true that it has few ingredients, but that’s not what puttanesca means. The sauce originated in Napoli and got its name because it was something quick and easy that a ‘lady of the night’ could make between clients.

That’s why when they say: Dinner is served: puttanesca. Olaf says: what did you call me?!
