Pasta Puttanesca

March 23, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t enjoy a bowl of pasta covered in a rich tomato sauce and then topped with parmesan? I seriously don’t think I know anyone who would turn down pasta, especially during the colder months. Pasta is a total comfort food for me, and honestly I don’t eat it very often because I do try to watch my carb intake, but every once in a while I get a horrible craving for Italian food.
