Easy Spaghetti Recipe Puttanesca

No-Cook Spaghetti Puttanesca for a Quick and Easy Pasta Fix

Pasta lovers will love this easy spaghetti recipe that will be ready in just a few minutes with a few ingredients. What’s better is that it’s no cook! Well, yes you have to cook the noodles of course, but the sauce itself is fresh and doesn’t need to be cooked.

Pasta is rich in carbs, but you can also choose wheat or vegan spaghetti. In fact, I found this spinach pasta at the supermarket and decided to use them for this recipe. The ultimate healthy meal! Sometimes I have pasta for snacks. Pasta is such a versatile ingredient that you should always have it in stock.

Why Tomatoes are Good for You

The main ingredient in this easy spaghetti recipe is tomatoes. In fact, we use two varieties – beefsteak tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

Beefsteak tomatoes are one of the largest varieties of tomatoes and are juicy enough to eat fresh. Cherry tomatoes, on the other hand, are among the smallest varieties of tomatoes and are also perfect when eaten fresh, such as in salads.

Tomatoes are healthy and rich in nutrients, especially lycopene. Lycopene helps reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Among the nutrients found in tomatoes are Beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and antioxidants. Tomatoes also help prevent asthma, promotes bone health and good eyesight, and protects against cognitive decline.

On the other hand, some people should not eat or should limit their consumption of tomatoes. People with hyperkalemia, or too much potassium, should consult with a doctor before eating tomatoes. There are also some people who have hypersensitivity to tomatoes.

Quick tip: Did you know that you can use your cooling and roasting racks to rinse and drain the tomatoes? I also use them to dice the tomatoes.

No-Cook Easy Spaghetti Recipe for Quick Meals

Easy Spaghetti Recipe Puttanesca

This quick and easy spaghetti recipe is not just hassle-free but nutritious, too! My kids are used to the usual spaghetti sauce, so fresh tomatoes are definitely something new for them.  Most young ones like sweet-style spaghetti better than the classic Italian style with fresh tomatoes and herbs.

Anyway, as usual, either because of their big appetite or my delicious cooking skills (ahem), they loved the Spaghetti Puttanesca. Oh, and it’s perfect with some homemade garlic bread!

    I’ve made this a few times. It’s a keeper! Easy for weeknight dinner. I’d add more olives but otherwise, I have no complaints! Yum!
