    Plant-Based Pasta Puttanesca is the Perfect Comfort Food or All

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on June 13, 2022 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    There’s nothing fishy about this plant-based pasta puttanesca! Spaghetti alla puttanesca is a naturally dairy-free Italian pasta dish that’s native to Naples. It’s typically made with tomatoes, olive oil, olives, anchovies, chili peppers, capers, and garlic. I don’t usually keep anchovies on hand, so I decided to make a fish-free version. And it did not disappoint!

    Plant-Based Pasta Puttanesca is the Perfect Comfort Food or All

    This wonderfully flavorful recipe suits almost any dietary need. It can be enjoyed vegan, gluten-free, and top allergen-free. I even have some addition options using everyday ingredients.

    Vegetarian-Style: In my opinion, this sauce is just begs for cauliflower. Cook 12 ounces of florets in the sauce, or lightly steam them, layer them atop your pasta, and pour the sauce on. Another delicious addition is chopped artichoke hearts. Or, for more protein, I recommend adding chickpeas.

    Chicken: If you aren’t vegan or vegetarian, this pasta puttanesca is delicious with chicken. Thinly slice (1/4-inch thick) 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and drizzle in a little bit of the white wine. Stir to coat the chicken with the starch mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet, and saute the chicken until cooked through, but still tender. Serve the chicken atop the pasta.

    This naturally dairy-free dish is full of so much flavor, you really don't need the anchovy addition. Serve it with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
