We love pasta and I’m sure you will too!
There are complex and less complex pasta dishes, but due to the short cooking time of the pasta, they are particularly suitable if you want a quick, warm dish on your plate.
A good tomato sauce is not to be despised, but it also takes a relatively long time to develop the good aromas.
We came up with today’s recipe because I was in the mood for black olives again. Together with tomatoes and pasta, this sounded like a wonderful combination. We turned that into this vegan version of pasta alla puttanesca.
The original recipe from Italy includes anchovies, of course we left them out in our vegan version.
Other than that, the ingredients aren’t exotic and you probably already have most of them at home.
If you don’t have fresh spring onions, you can use regular onions. And the cherry tomatoes aren’t a must either. But we really like these fresh and still somewhat firm little pieces of tomato in the sauce.
Just try this delicious pasta dish! The olives and capers really give the sauce a nice, spicy taste.
