Classic Puttanesca sauce contains capers, garlic, olives, anchovies, and tomatoes. Here we’ve used a touch of anchovy paste rather than anchovies, and added artichokes instead of olives, as well as tossing in some baby spinach and fresh basil. All of these ingredients blend fantastically for a flavorful pasta. This dish feels very special, but it’s actually pretty easy to make. Serve it for guests, or have it as a weeknight dinner. You can have any leftovers for lunch the next day.
