3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tablespoons anchovy paste or 6 fillets flat anchovies

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

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!
