About Putanesca

Putanesca is a bold and flavorful Italian pasta dish originating from Naples. Its signature sauce combines tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and red chili flakes, creating a savory, tangy, and slightly salty profile. Traditionally served with spaghetti, this dish showcases Mediterranean ingredients rich in nutrients. The capers and olives provide antioxidants, while anchovies are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, supporting overall cardiovascular health. However, Putanesca can be high in sodium due to the anchovies, olives, and capers, making moderation key for individuals monitoring salt intake. Enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet, this classic dish offers robust flavors and a variety of nutrients that exemplify the Mediterranean approach to healthy eating.
