Instructions
Puttanesca Sauce:
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, olives, capers, olive bring, caper brine, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, for 20 minutes.
-
Remove the sauce from heat, and stir in the olive oil and almost all of the chopped parsley, reserving some to sprinkle on the finished bowls.
-
Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and salt, if necessary.
-
While the sauce cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook your spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and return it to the pot.
Vegan Spaghetti alla Puttanesca:
-
If you’re adding zucchini noodles, spiralize the zucchini with a spiralizer, or turn the zucchini into noodles with a julienne peeler, or grate the zucchini the long way on a large box grater.
-
Once all of your components are ready, pour the sauce over the pasta and stir to combine.
-
Stir in the zucchini noodles, if using. If there are leftovers, store extra zucchini noodles separately, as they leech water once they come into contact with salty ingredients.
-
Divide into individual bowls and top each bowl with a light sprinkle of parsley. Serve immediately.
