Very good! Quick & easy, perfect for a weeknight dinner. I just added a couple of "extra's"; some tomato paste from a tube that I cooked in the pan with the all of the items that were sautéed before the tomatoes were added and some red wine - both added another depth of flavor. Also, I didn't have Arugula or Spinach, so I used some spring mix lettuce. It worked but I can imagine how much better it would be with Arugula or Spinach! I love Ellie's recipes because they are simple and healthy, but most of all delicious!

Wow, made this tonight and read the reviews I doubled the sauce and tripled the olives. Didn't have anchovy paste but used leftover anchovies from our pizza delivery. When making pasta and sauce..I'd add the pasta to the sauce to insure how much balance you want. Not a big fan of arugula so I used baby spinach..Yum...

I love Pasta Puttanesca, and make it often; it's quick, easy and very tasty; not at all bland. Like one reviewer's son, I'm also vegetarian, so I substitute 2T tomato paste in place of the 1t anchovy paste. I also prefer Angel Hair pasta for this particular dish, as regular spaghetti seems to overwhelm what is essentially a light sauce. Pair it with a slice of Pugliese bread and a side salad, and you've got yourself a great meal.

I have made multiple times to rave reviews. Simple but delicious. I followed directions exactly--no reason to change a thing! Can be made with or without the arugula.

This recipe was fantastic! At first I was nervous with the anchovy paste, but it melted away when it hit the hot pan. No fishy taste whatsoever. I used Spanish olives (not a fan of Kalamata, baby Aurgula, and a little extra crushed red pepper. Delish! Both my husband and 6 year old son cleaned their plates. Will be making this again soon!

I'm knocking a star because the recipe as written is a little bland. I'm in total agreement with the reviewer who suggested doubling all ingredients with the exception of the spaghetti, because the dish needs to be more saucy. I made this almost exactly, but I lacked the arugula which is too bad because I love it. Next time I make it, I'll double the sauce mixture and will for sure add the arugula! I used Greek Kalamata olives and they along with the capers added a nice little tang--this coming from someone who for the most part doesn't care for olives!

This is delicious! A big hit in my household. I omit the anchovy paste (vegetarian household and it is every bit as satisfying without it. I always rinse the olives and capers to cut the salt a bit. So easy, so satisfying, thank you!!
