About Puttanesca sauce

Puttanesca sauce is a bold and savory Italian condiment originating from Naples, traditionally served over pasta. This aromatic sauce features a blend of tomatoes, garlic, anchovies, black olives, capers, and olive oil, with red chili flakes and parsley often added for extra flavor. Its vibrant taste comes from the harmony of tangy, salty, and umami-rich ingredients. Nutritionally, Puttanesca sauce is relatively low in calories and packed with antioxidants and vitamins from the tomatoes and olive oil. The capers and olives offer healthy fats and essential minerals, while the anchovies provide protein and omega-3 fatty acids. However, its sodium content can be high due to the olives, capers, and anchovies, making moderation key for those monitoring salt intake. Puttanesca’s bold flavors and simple preparation make it a popular choice for quick, satisfying meals.
