Took the inspiration for tonight's dinner from the Putenesca sauce.
Stole the name from Nigella. That’s what she calls the Famous Pasta Dish
Pasta Putenesca is attributed to the Poor Local Working Girls.
Their need for a quick meal into between jobs.
Just like this, quick as a flash and you have dinner!
This is a pantry, fridge and Freezer Dinner.
I’m also extolling the virtues of some products, that I bought from the Food Show.
Olivado’s Infused Avocado Oils.
The Chili Oil has a great kick, I love it
And the Rosemary, a little more gentle but an excellent aroma and taste.
Also I bought some 'Gourmet Food Specialties' products
These Kalamata Olives in Balsamic are as GOldilocks Said "just right".
The dressing is fabulous, just drizzle over anything really
I used it in this Risotto for that final taste.
This is a great dish
So here we go
