Tips to love this Puttanesca even more

Can I freeze this? No, you shouldn’t. It will make the taste and texture quite different. I can vouch for meal prep so you can make it ahead of time (up to 4 days) and reheat whenever you need.
Also you can just make a double batch and store in the fridge. It will stay fresh without loss in taste and texture.

Like it more spicy? I would guess swap out the crushed pepper for chili flakes. Another tasty addition to try, yum.

More variation and texture? No problem! Add cubed eggplant, you can fry or roast them. Both ways are delicious.
