Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca is said to have dated back to the Italian city of Naples, in the World War II era. Its main ingredients consisted of anchovies, capers, olives, garlic, and tomatoes, with some versions having added red pepper flakes for some added spice. In Italy, all of these ingredients were abundant and quickly found, making this meal affordable, simple to make, tasty, and filling. A twist on this classic dish has been modified for the vegan diet by omitting the anchovies while adding lemon juice to balance the saltiness of the capers and olives, as well as adding cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and parsley for some freshness. Replace regular spaghetti with whole wheat, zucchini noodles, or any other of your favorite noodles to accommodate any diet. Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca is a simple and easy recipe for those who want a quick & nutritious meal. Buon Appetito!
