When you look at the ingredients list for Pasta Puttanesca, it’s really difficult to fully appreciate how much flavour this simple little dish has.
I’ve used spiralised courgette (zucchini) here, but you could also use butternut squash, sprinkled with a little salt and left to sit for 10 mins, so it softens. If you’re doing that version, make sure you don’t add extra salt when adding the remaining ingredients.
I’ve also given you the recipe for a really cool and very quick macadamia parmesan, which goes so well on this dish.
There’s extra points for you for making a red grape kombucha or kefir to go with this.

Russell, my favorite pasta dish is puttanesca…. I cannot tell you how delighted I am about this recipe! Thank you! Thank you!
Sweet! You’re welcome, and thanks 🙂
Would it be possible to include nutritional info for your recipes please? Thank you.
Hey Edwina, thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into how easily we can do that 🙂
Topping with pumkin seed will surely add extra flavor.
What is sea veg salad?
It’s a mix of flaked sea vegetables. A quick search on Amazon and you’ll find it 🙂
we don’t get it here (brazil)! is it ok to substitute with hidrated hijiki seaweed?
Fore sure, whatever seaweed you enjoy 🙂
I wanted to know that, too! 🙂
