It’s not too surprising that this is the fourth puttanesca-inspired recipe on Cookin’ Canuck. I’m a sucker for anything salty, briny with those ever-welcome “umami” flavors. It all started with puttanesca shrimp bowls, then quickly moved to puttanesca cauliflower and a chicken and spaghetti squash recipe with…you guessed it…puttanesca sauce.

If you’re unfamiliar with puttanesca, it’s a classic Italian sauce that combines crushed tomatoes, capers, olives and anchovies. I promise that there’s no reason to run away from the anchovies in this sauce. They practically melt into the hot olive oil and provide a subtle, savory background flavor. Of course, if you prefer to make this dish vegetarian, then feel free to leave out the anchovies.

In this roasted vegetable puttanesca pasta, I cut zucchini and eggplant into rounds, brushed them with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and roasted in the oven until the vegetables were tender and golden brown. Save yourself some time by cooking the sauce and the pasta while the vegetables are roasting. Once they’re chopped, you’ll be all set to throw everything together and serve up a piping hot meal.

    We love puttanesca sauce and your idea of putting in zucchini and eggplant is genius. Get the delicious veggies in at the same time as the pasta with sauce. I’m pinning!
