A really excellent first course that is quick to prepare, light, an ideal idea for both lunch and dinner, sea puttanesca spaghetti are ideal for a good seafood menu.
The other day I was watching the series “I bastardi di Pizzofalcone” with Alessandro Gasmman and during the episode this first course was prepared, of course I immediately thought of replicating it.
The recipe usually uses squid, but many sea versions of the typical Neapolitan puttanesca dish also add mussels, clams, fresh tuna, and some even whelks, sea snails.
Of course, however you prepare sea puttanesca spaghetti, they are delicious, I love them, a delicious variation of the typical pasta with olives and capers.
