Make absolutely sure you cook down your puttanesca as much as possible. If you can't cook it down enough, or you don't have the time to, then strain it out. Also, if you're using fresh mozzarella, make sure that's as dry as possible, too. This was wonderful, though. I added a cubanelle pepper, and it made it even better. We'll be having this more often, that's for sure!

I made this the same day as the other 2 pizzas in the Movie Marathon episode and all 3 were wonderful! This pizza was fast and easy...just like the name of the pizza!
