Puttanesca Sauce Over Rigati Pasta

Tom and I discovered Puttanesca Sauce when we were gallivanting around Napa Valley tasting wine and eating delicious food. We wandered into Dean and Deluca's where they have wonderful temptations in their deli department. We bought some Puttanesca Sauce and thought we'd try it over pasta instead of our usual Marinara Sauce. We've been hooked ever since but, without trying to sound boastful, Tom's creation of the sauce is a million times better than the bottled Puttanesca we bought. For this presentation, I sprinkled a bit of dried chives around the plate and some fresh grated Parmesan cheese as well. It was absolutely delicious and easy to make!

You can find the recipe and the history of Puttanesca Sauce on our post of February 12, 2013.

Bon Appetit
