    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       06/24/2018   Perfect just as is, I use Romano cheese to top it off And the anchovies were great In the sauce and no salt in the pasta water. We watch our salt intake with anchovies, olives and a touch of Romano is all you need for salt!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       03/01/2013   Another Middle School Cooking Class hit. I am trying to show them some easy recipes that they can do for themselves as they get older. Make them at home now, make them later when in college and have them become part of their lives as adults.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       01/28/2013   I have made this recipe several times, and it always turns out yummy. I used it in my middle school cooking class and they loved it!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/16/2012   I love the idea of using what is in my pantry for dinner. So often I think we have nothing to eat and do not think to add some of my pantry staples together. I made this tonight, but left out the black olives and substituted sauteed chicken for the anchovies. I Also added fresh parsley at the end and topped with shredded parmesan. It was absolutely delicious. The whole family loved it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/29/2011   It would be better to use pounded anchovies, with a mortar. When you toss the pasta, you can sprinkle with parsley. Look here for my recipe: http://www.academiabarilla.com/recipes/lazio/spaghetti-with-puttanesca-sauce.aspx  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/20/2010   Just made this tonight for dinnner. It was really good! And so easy to make. I omitted the anchovies, but next time may try anchovy paste instead. I will definitely be making this again!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/02/2009   i love this dish. add more red flakes for extra heat. sauce has a thick body to it so it holds well to the pasta. i make this often for a satisfying dish and it comes together quickly. these ingredients are great to always have on hand in the pantry. perfect for entertaining too. all you need is a bread, salad, a good red wine and you have a low cost but delicious meal for your guests.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/28/2008   This made a quick and delicious dinner. And as is the case with many pasta dishes, it tasted even better the second night.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/25/2008   Great summer pasta. Our family loves pasta, and this is a great alternative to summer pasta. I roasted beefsteak tomatoes cut side down in oven with garlic and olive oil first. I also added lemon and goat cheese for a cold summer pasta dish. Vola.
