Central Market Puttanesca Tomato Sauce
What it is
This is a ready-to-use sauce inspired by the classic Italian dish, Puttanesca. It features a base of tomatoes combined with traditional ingredients like olives, capers, and anchovies, creating a bold and savory flavor profile. The sauce is simmered to allow the ingredients to meld together, offering a convenient way to enjoy a complex taste without extensive preparation. It comes in a convenient package for easy use.
How people cook with it
This sauce is perfect for adding a burst of Mediterranean flavor to your meals. It's designed to be heated and served, making weeknight dinners simpler.
- Tossed with pasta

To use, simply open the package and transfer the sauce to a saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Avoid boiling. This sauce is ideal for tossing with cooked pasta, where it coats each strand with its rich flavor. It can also be used as a flavorful base for other dishes, such as baked fish or chicken, or served as a dipping sauce alongside warm bread. Its robust taste means it stands up well to other strong flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a simple marinara, this Puttanesca sauce has a distinct salty and briny character from the olives and capers. The addition of anchovies provides a deep umami note that is characteristic of this specific Italian sauce, setting it apart from more basic tomato preparations.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, refrigerate any unused portion in a sealed container. It is best to consume the leftover sauce within a few days to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent spoilage and to keep the flavors from fading.
