Shrimp Puttanesca

Shrimp Puttanesca is our almost identical version of one of Italy’s most classic pasta dishes. We toss fresh noodles with salty kalamata olives, capers, and an impossibly simple tomato-based white wine sauce. The light pasta is studded with sweet plump shrimp and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. The perfect way to get your pasta fix without a lot of guilt.
