Puttanesca
A classic is a classic for a reason, so this version doesn't mess too much with an already perfect marriage of ingredients. I did have to use linguine instead of the traditional spaghetti, because I ran out of spaghetti. And I also used basil instead of Italian parsley, out of preference because I like the extra freshness from the basil. Other than that, this is my Italian nonna's puttanesca. If I had an Italian nonna.

Puttanesca Puttanesca
There are a number of different recipes for this floating around. This variation used to be one of Mrs Wyrm's favourite pasta dishes. Normally, it includes plenty of garlic (my original recipe had 6 cloves of minced garlic!), but that has become bad for her so I'm doing without it here. 🇮🇹🍝🐟🌞🍅

My Easy Spaghetti alla Puttanesca My Easy Spaghetti alla Puttanesca
I love the ingredients used in this pasta, so I make it often.It's simple to prep with just a can of tuna!Adjust the amount of tuna to taste. It also tastes nice and simple without it.Use 20 g of natural cooking salt to 2 liters of water for boiling the pasta.I use canned chopped tomatoes. If you use canned whole tomatoes, be sure to mash them.If you use the entire can of tomatoes and stew the sauce, the taste will become nice and rich. For 2 servings. Recipe by putimiko

Southern Italian: Olive and Anchovy Pasta Southern Italian: Olive and Anchovy Pasta
I attempted to remake the pasta that I had while in Monreale in Sicily. The original recipe contains fennel roots, but I substituted it with celery, which is easy to find.When transferring the pasta to Step 9, it should feel as if it's still a bit too hard. Add the pasta while stirring in some of the boiling water from the noodles. If you do this until the pasta becomes al dente, then you won't fail.Since the sodium level of the olives and anchovies is quite high, don't add salt to the water for the pasta. Recipe by ai_yui -
